Atlético Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher expressed the team's determination to overcome their recent Champions League exit against Real Madrid. Despite the controversial penalty shootout loss, Gallagher emphasized using it as motivation for their crucial LaLiga match against Barcelona. He noted the mental challenge of recovering from a defeat but remains optimistic about delivering a strong performance as Atlético seeks to contend for the title, currently sitting a point behind both Barcelona and Real Madrid in a competitive race.
"It [Champions League] is a performance to be proud of and we're gonna take that feeling from the loss and take it into our next match as motivation."
"Of course it can be difficult on the mental side of things to get over a loss like we did and make sure we are 100 prepared for such a big game."
"What happened, happened, unfortunately. It can happen to anyone, and these things can happen in football."
