Quotes
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone: “Against a team with key offensive players and great counterattackers, we took charge of the match as we needed to. In the second half, we picked up the pace and improved with the substitutions; we took the lead with a great goal by Pubill, but we needed to manage that time we spent ahead better.”
