Atletico Madrid's season took a downturn as they were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Barcelona and exited the Champions League against Real Madrid. Despite their recent struggles, coach Diego Simeone praised the team's efforts, stating they had competed effectively across all competitions. He acknowledged the team's previous success, noting their strong performance in La Liga during earlier months. The team is currently nine points off the LaLiga lead, with a six-game winless streak causing concern for their prospects of winning silverware this season.
"In football, sometimes the opponent is better. In the second half, we corrected things, and we could have made it a draw. We competed well, against a team that plays well... They're a great opponent, who at times will be superior to you."
"Here's what I think: the team, up to now, has competed well. We competed well in the Champions League, we competed well in the Copa, and in the league we're having a good season."
