PRESS CONFERENCE

Simeone: "We'll keep competing like we always have"

Our boss spoke to the press and analyzed the match.

After our defeat and elimination from the Copa del Rey, Diego Pablo Simeone analyzed the match. 

"Our rival took advantage of their chances," he said. "I believe Sevilla finished their chances both here and in the first leg. This made them be more comfortable in the tie."

After Antoine Griezmann scored the 1-1, the team had a few more chances to score the second, but Sevilla defended well.

"We were close to turning the match around in the first half and scoring the equalizer in the second, but [Sergio] Rico played well."

Simeone knows its a disappointment to bow out of the Copa del Rey, but is confident the team will fight for both LaLiga and the Europa League.

"The responsibility is all mine," he continued. "There are still four months left in season and between the league and the Europa League, we'll keep competing like we always have."
