Llorente: Atlético Won't Give Up
Marcos Llorente, Atlético de Madrid midfielder, analyzed the recent defeat against FC Barcelona, a match in which the team managed to have a two-goal lead. In statements to DAZN, Llorente acknowledged that the physical effort of the Champions League match took its toll on the team.
According to him, Atlético controlled the first half and managed to get ahead, but the wear and tear of the 120 European minutes became evident in the second half. The key, according to Llorente, was Barcelona’s goal right after the 2-0, an emotional blow that prevented the advantage from being consolidated.
In addition, the team was no longer able to maintain pressure and conceded too many crosses to the opponent. Despite the defeat, Llorente was optimistic about Atlético’s options in LaLiga. He insisted that the team will fight until the end and recalled that the season is long and the dynamics can change quickly.
With ambition and enthusiasm, Atlético will seek to reverse the situation and fight for its goals. Llorente conveyed a message of confidence to the fans, assuring that the team will give its best until the last moment.
