Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in the Allianz Arena press room after the first semi-final against Naples: "To be able to come back is always important regarding the team’s reaction. We folded back to contain their game between the lines. In the first half, we had two good chances and in the second, we also gave several warnings before the goals by Torres and Vietto."

"The performance of the team was quite good. We need to improve when we start an offensive play and the offensive combinations. I take with me Thomas's entrance, since it gave us a better recovery and exit of the ball," he noted.
