Simeone: The penalty helped open up the game
The head coach of Madrid's "Atletico", Diego Simeone, spoke to the press after his team's convincing 3:0 victory over "Sevilla". In this match, Julian Alvarez, Thiago Almada, and Antoine Griezmann scored goals.

"I am very pleased with Rudjeri's play, Gantsko's actions in central defense, and Baena's performance in midfield. But we are aiming for even higher results.

I don't want to stop here, we will try to get the best out of every player because they are very talented," said Simeone in his interview with "Into the Calderon". "We were disappointed not to score after the first half.

"Sevilla" defended strongly, we had 2-3 chances, but couldn't score. That made us a bit upset, but we had to keep pressing.

The penalty helped us break through the opponent's defense, and our changes created more space and opportunities, as a result, we had a strong second half," the coach added. Currently, "Atletico" is in fourth place in the league standings with 22 points.

"Sevilla" is in eleventh place with 13 points.
