Thus, Atletico Madrid managed to effectively capitalize on scoring opportunities.
"Despite two goals, I'm very pleased with my team's performance. It's difficult to express my feelings. This season didn't start easily for us, but even under these circumstances, the entire club team worked hard. I am grateful to them, because the fruits of this labor were visible on the field," the coach said.
The Argentinian manager emphasized that the team has found a clear path of development after the match against Liverpool. At the same time, he specifically highlighted Julian Alvarez's performance. "Alvarez is distinguished not only by his attacking power but also by his loyalty and dedication to the team. His diligence and talent are invaluable to our club. We need him, we must save him, and I hope Julian will defend Atletico's honor for many more years," Simeone said.
Atletico's victory in the derby was a significant emotional boost not only for the team but for the entire club system. Simeone, in turn, emphasized that such victories are the result of hard work and dedication.
