IS THE TIE DECIDED?
"Zero, we have to play the 90 minutes."
CRITICISM OF THE METROPOLITANO PITCH
"I'm not the one to comment on that. In the end, it's part of the club."
SIMEONE'S FAITH IN HIM AND HIS STARTING ROLE
"I was surprised too. Grateful that when things weren't going well, the coaching staff supported me. That energy makes us all be at the highest level."
