Simeone: I Knew Atletico Would Lose From the Start
Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid, claimed that his team’s missed opportunities in the early minutes of the match against Osasuna made their defeat predictable.
Atletico Madrid suffered a 2-0 defeat against Osasuna in the 36th round of La Liga, a result that did not significantly impact their already secured third-place position.
Diego Simeone stated in the post-match press conference: “From the beginning, when we had an early chance to take the lead and didn’t capitalize, it was clear we would lose.”
“We could have defended the corner better, and in the second half, we controlled the game without creating dangerous chances like in the first half. They scored from Budimir’s goal, and we accepted the defeat.”
Atletico’s poor away form
We played better than in the matches against Alaves and Las Palmas, but the coach doesn’t have the tools to deliver a better performance. I look at myself, and it’s my responsibility that they don’t perform as they do at home.
Injuries to Pablo Barrios and Cesar Azpilicueta
Azpi just took a knock, and regarding Barrios, the doctors will provide updates.
Upcoming matches
With maximum hope, we have a home game in front of our fans and then a match against Girona to finish the season in the best possible way.
