«I was very fucked up the first days, honestly hit me. Because obviously, it is the first game that I do not believe that it was justice, and in the second we made a huge effort with Barcelona, a great game until 75 ‘but the opponent’s capacity could overcome us and move from 2-0 to a 2-4 was hard. But we are back, with great desire and energy, “he said at a press conference.

A very good collective work is seen, they are very clear about what they want to do and we will have to take the game where we believe we can harm them, ”he argued.
Faith in the league

Many of the things he has told us have helped us improve, ”he said.
Around with the penalty of Julián

After the journalist’s explanations, Simeone insisted that it was not a stick of Madrid because they won the game and were eliminated in a penalty shootout marked by “the prison in which Julian apparently touched her twice.” «You said two sticks, and two sticks were not, it was one. In Champions we did not lose, won and eliminated. The stick was that of Barcelona, the other was weird“He said.
