After the elimination of the Champions League, Diego Simeone admitted that Chelsea was better than Atletico Madrid.
«Possible penalty on Carrasco? I don’t look for excuses. They were better. When the rival is better, we have to congratulate him. Now we’re going to focus on the Spanish League, ”he said, quoted by AS.
«El Cholo» also left praise for João Félix, considering that he made the best match with the mattress jersey.
«The first game was balanced, but today Chelsea were superior. We tried to press high and condition the ball out. They put themselves at an advantage again. This was João Félix’s best game since he joined the team. This is the player we want. I also liked Saúl in the second half », he defended.
In turn, Simeone devalued Luis Suárez’s dissatisfaction. The Uruguayan did not like to be replaced by Correa after 60 minutes and made a point of demonstrating it.
«It is normal for the footballer to want to continue playing. We understand that to get ahead, we would have to have another mobility and that is why we have changed », he said.
