FC Barcelona did a great thing on Sunday evening. At Metropolitano in Madrid, she lost 0: 2 to 72 minutes and everything indicated that she would suffer a severe defeat. At that time, however, an unexpected phrase took place. Robert Lewandowski scored in a great contact style, giving a signal to the attack. His colleagues followed the blow. After two goals of Ferran Torres and one lamine Yamal FC Barcelona won 4: 2. He was asked about what happened to Atletico just after the meeting his coach Diego Simeone.
Atletico coach reacts to Lewandowski's goal. “They put in a difficult situation”
The Argentinean went to a press conference and immediately got a question about the cause of the failure. – Leading with two goals did not last long. The goal at 2: 1 gave Barcelona energy, confidence and fueled to attack. With some counterattacks we had a chance to use it, but we lost the goal ourselves, because we did not choose the last pass well. The 3: 2 result fell after a happy shot (the ball after a shot from Yamal's distance bounced to Reinildo and confused Jan Oblak – editor's note), which is part of the game. We won and drew in Barcelona, and today they won – he explained, quoted by “Mundo Deportivo”.
Robert Lewandowski's goal at 1: 2 seems to be key from the point of view of the entire match. Simeone claimed that it could be avoided. – We didn't defend ourselves well with their first hit. We should be tough. They scored a great goal and hurt us. They put in a difficult situation. They have a very good team and play great – he added.
“It's not a matter of happiness.” Strong words of Diego Simeone after the match with Barcelona. It is impossible
He also confessed to one mistake that could have influenced the first two hits for Barcelona. – The match was at a very important moment. I delayed the introduction of gimenesis. I should do it before the second half. Then there was a leveling goal … Of course, it does not mean that it would not happen if he was on the pitch, but the team needed his strength at the very end. Barcelona used it well, congratulations – he said.
Simeone was also asked if such a turn of cases was due to the usual happiness that FC Barcelona favored this time. However, the trainer raised the matter clearly. – It's not a matter of happiness, it's a matter of determination. They found the first, second, and then the third goal, at which the ricochet from Reinildo helped. It's not a matter of happiness – he said unequivocally.
The result for the Atletico team is all the more painful because it puts it in a very difficult situation in the context of the fight for the Spanish championship. At 10 rounds before the end of the season, the team from Madrid loses four points to the leading FC Barcelona, and the loss can become even greater, because the Catalans have one overdue match to play.
