Falcao's goal was not enough for Atletico to take the three points after. "It was a game with a leisurely feel. We tried to have much more possession than attacks. Until the goal I think the team did well. We handled it well. After the goal they had two chances we couldn’t deal with. I’m angry because they won," said Simeone after the meeting.

The fans are wonderful

 The goal that decided the contest was an unfortunate situation that ended with the ball in the net after hitting Gabi. "These things happen. Gabi is our captain and is having a wonderful season. Let’s see if on Friday he scores a goal at the other end".

After the match, Atletico have the Cup final on the horizon a special occasion for the fans. "The fans are wonderful. The stadium was filled with a colourful but what counts is what we do on the field," he said before clarifying that the players do not need extra motivation. "The game in itself motivates. We will focus now on a special game," concluded the Argentine.
