Cholo analyzes the defeat against Barcelona and the team's effort
After an intense match against Barcelona, Cholo Simeone analyzed the defeat, highlighting the effort and competitive attitude of his players. Despite having gained a two-goal lead, Barcelona managed to come back, relying on a dose of fortune and taking advantage of the quality of their squad.
Simeone congratulated the rival, acknowledging their power and the confidence they gained after the first goal. The Rojiblanco coach highlighted the great effort of players like Rodrigo and especially Julián, who despite not feeling well, showed great commitment on the field.
Simeone lamented the unconverted goal opportunities, those plays that remained ‘almost’, but stressed that the team competed and demonstrated it in the last few matches. Looking ahead, Cholo was optimistic and focused on the near future.
The team has a nice opportunity to reach a new final and they will fight until the end in the remaining ten games, hoping to reach the last five with options to fight for the top spots. Despite self-criticism for some tactical changes, Simeone urged the team to rest and focus on the next match against Espanyol, accepting what is coming and working hard to move forward.
