Diego Simeone's led Madrid's "Atletico" club failed to fulfill their dream for the second time in three years - to win the UEFA Champions League. After a penalty shootout, the "Rojiblancos" once again lost to the Madrid "Real" team and missed out on winning the prestigious trophy of the Old Continent. The Argentine specialist could not pinpoint what caused them to lose in the final for the second time, but he took some responsibility on his shoulders. D. Simeone admitted that reaching the final is no longer a good achievement, as the team was aiming for the title. "No one remembers the team that lost in the final," - the coach did not hide his disappointment. - Losing in two finals is a failure. Now we have to go home and heal our wounds”. "I don't know which lost final is more painful, but the most painful is for those people who gave everything until the final and now experienced failure. I feel somewhat responsible for this, as I could not give them what they deserved," - added D. Simeone. "Atletico" also played in the Champions League final in 2014, but then also had to acknowledge the advantage of the Madrid "Real".
