I am proud of them because we had injuries, disqualifications, players who could not play in the Champions League," said the coach. - The fact that I am disappointed because we lost the return leg and did it at home, but I am proud of them. Everything was possible for us. "Atletico" played maturely and professionally, so they controlled the situation. They are an amazing team."
