Simeone spoke to the media at the conclusion of the Liverpool 3-2 Atlético Madrid match on day 1 of the Champions. A Cholo who analyzed the comeback and subsequent defeat of the team, as well as his expulsion after the local goal in overtime. Simeone makes no excuses for the defeat in the Champions debut, but values the match of the Atlético against a great Liverpool.

EXPULSION AND FINAL MESS

"We are in a place where we have no right to react, it's not right. But just as we fight against racism and insults, we also have to look at what happens behind the benches, it's not easy to receive insults all game. A fan was insulting me all game, I turned around at 3-2 and the insults continued with a gesture, and well, I'm a person".

WHAT DO YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THE GAME?

"The game started with a lucky goal that favored them followed by a great goal from Salah. Around the 15 or 20 minute mark we started to show that we were in the game, we were presenting in the rival area, having situations and having a more divided game. That's how the goal came. There could have been more. After the break, the game continued divided, with them being able to extend the score and us trying to find that place to look for the game. We made changes until we achieved the tie and after that the team retreats and retreats because the legs accuse it and they after corner and corner score a great goal. I take away the spirit, which is that of Atlético Madrid".

HOW DOES THE TEAM FEEL?

"When the result appears, no one cares about the losses. But knowing the path traveled I leave happy, with the spirit I want. If we have to lose, let it be like this".

Llorente near the goal. "This stadium suits him very well, he has great memories and will have them. He played as a fullback, internal and we accompanied the growth of the team with crazy changes in a very tough game against a great rival. It serves us to continue growing and try to maintain this step".

If we have to lose, in this way. "For the reaction to the 2-0 in a tough field after a rebound, worked, got into the game and could put the 3-3 in Sorloth's. This is the way. In the Champions there are these rivals, but we are going to compete".

Insults. "I'm not going to detail what the insults were, I'm not going to get into that, I have that position and until society can resolve it, I have to live with it"
