D. Simeone: we were removed fairly © JumpStory

Madridthe „Atletico“ team's head coach Diego Simeone did not prepare to complain after the team's failure in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against „Leipzig“. According to the Argentine, the 1:2 loss was determined by the poor performance of his players. „We gave everything we could on the field. It was hard for us to win against faster opponents. This season was long, with a 60-day break. Then we faced additional pressure, as we returned to compete in the Champions League. We couldn't play the way we wanted. I liked the performance of our opponents - they wanted to win, looked fresh on the field. I'm not going to look for excuses - we were eliminated fairly, congratulations to our opponents“, - said the coach.
