Madrid's "Atletico" suffered a painful 1:3 defeat to "Sevilla" and a total score of 2:5, exiting the King's Cup tournament in the quarterfinals.
This was the second bitter pill for the "Atletico" team and fans to swallow, as the Madrid club failed to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.
"I take full responsibility for our exit from the King's Cup and the Champions League," said "Atletico" coach Diego Simeone.
"There are still 4 months left in the season, both in La Liga and the Europa League, and we will fight and struggle everywhere. Our opponents took advantage of their chances. "Sevilla" took advantage of what they created in both matches.
"We could have turned the game in our favor in the first half or in the second with an equalizing goal, but Sergio Rico (Sevilla's goalkeeper) played very well," the coach said.
