Gregorio Manzano did not hesitate to praise the Barcelona in the press conference following the meeting in the Camp Nou: 'To win against Barca is it necessary that they play their youth team or your team plays the game of the century. We must take off our hats to them, it looks like they’ll have the same successes as last season.'   The Atletico coach stressed the sheer quality of his rival: 'The alternatives are few. You can put the whole team defending in the area or try to use your weapons. I'm angry with how the result looks, but we are facing one of the best teams in history'.   Manzano regretted not having had more possession during the clash: 'We have spent 90 percent of the game away from their area and their defense is not even asked any questions. The beginning was very negative. In fifteen minutes we had conceded two goals. They controlled the game and they have found it very comfortable playing their football. Perhaps we lacked intensity.'   He went back to comment on the high quality of the Catalan side 'this Barca is enjoyed by their fans as well as everyone else. They have a variety of tactics that allows them to play with three defenders and that gives them an extra player in the center of the field. Thus, it is physically impossible to beat them for possession”.   When asked if this Barca is still better than in recent years, Manzano believes that we must wait for season to end to analyse that: 'It’s only September, but their vital signs are similar to last year, but with more variety. They have signed two players who will give them depth.”
