Pablo Barrios: "I'm proud of the team's effort" | OneFootball

The MVP of the Atlético de Madrid – Deportivo Alavés match, Pablo Barrios, analyzed the narrow victory for the Colchoneros on their return to the Metropolitano in 2026. The rojiblanco midfielder spoke about the image the team showed in the match against the Glorioso.

TEAM PERFORMANCE

“I’ll stick with the team’s effort. I think that in the first half, even though we didn’t score, in my opinion it was one of the best we’ve played this season in terms of gameplay. In the end, we had to suffer, but we’re happy with the three points.”

DISCONNECTION DURING THE MATCH

“Maybe we suffered more than we should have, in the end they were losing, they pushed forward, with the fatigue from the whole match we dropped back… But you have to suffer, there are never any easy games.”

S∅RLOTH

“The truth is he’s a player who helps us a lot, especially in such tight matches, where we can go for crosses. He helps us a lot.”

JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ

“I think we shouldn’t focus so much on the goal. He’s working really hard, more than anyone, and the goals will come, I’m sure that, with the kind of player he is, they’ll definitely come.”
