Simeone said that "the first 20 minutes Osasuna worked well, they played well and we were surprised at the two first chances. In the first half we could not find our way. We were better in the second half but could not get the first goal, we could get into the game."

The Atletico coach would not quibble over the defeat and said that "when the opponent is better like today, I congratulate Osasuna. Other days you're better. This is football."

Finally, he commented that "the performance of Osasuna was very good and we did not play as we wanted to the good performance was Osasuna’s. It was a good match for them in the first 25 minutes. In the second half we lifted the team level and at least played the game. You can lose and would rather lose like we did in the second half."
