13:10 4 November, 2021The Argentine manager of reigning Spanish La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, commented on their 0-2 defeat to Liverpool in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
"Liverpool must be given credit. They started the match excellently and scored goals as a result of beautiful and fast combinations. And after that, they created more [scoring] opportunities and felt more confident.
We also had a few [scoring] opportunities. At the beginning of the first half, [Yannick] Carrasco could have scored a goal after the corner. But Liverpool scored a goal, and then our player was sent off. It was much more difficult [for us] after that," Simeone said, according to the UEFA website.
