Catania overcame Sicilian rivals Palermo at the Massimino as a first half brace from Maxi Lopez saw them to a 2-0 Serie A victory. After the game, the Argentine told Sky Sport Italia that the stronger mindset had won out.
“We know that they are a team of champions who play well on the ball, but Catania wanted an important victory to achieve safety and the mentality of Catania is very strong," said the marksman.
Asked if he was enjoying life in Sicily, the former Barcelona man was unequivocal. "Yes, the group is excellent and I feel good. I want to continue with Catania and I want to reach the next goal: Our points record.
"We have to work slowly and build a team here. If you get a great team, it will come, but I'm comfortable and I feel good here."
The derby victory means Catania have now racked up 38 points in this season and sit in 13th place with six games to play.
