"There are times when it is not necessary to talk, the numbers speak for themselves. We have to give the greatest energy we have, the quality to reinvent ourselves. The effort made an enormous effort. The team did not start well, the three-goal advantage did not come well. We equalised, it was 2-1, we equalised, we had situations to close and the final penalty came."
"Atletico Madrid have scored 31 goals in 12 matches in the 2025-26 Champions League, their highest tally in a single edition of the competition in their history. With their two goals against Spurs, only Paris Saint-Germain (34) and Bayern Munich (32) have netted more than Atletico's 31 in the Champions League in 2025-26."
"Simeone has now progressed from eight different Champions League last-16 knockout ties, as many as Jose Mourinho and behind only Pep Guardiola (14) and Carlo Ancelotti (13) in Champions League history."
