""I'm very happy for Musso. He's working very hard, waiting for his moment to perform for the team," said Simeone. "It was an important day for him. He made two or three excellent one-on-one saves. Musso was the best player, which makes me happy. That's what he's there for, to make saves. And I'm glad the team had the composure to win.""
""I don't think it got complicated. We always had the feeling they could have drawn level, but it wasn't that tense," explained Simeone. "There were some isolated moments, those one-on-ones that Juan saved very well, but we controlled the game until the last eight or 10 minutes, when we stopped attacking. We tried to win the whole time. I liked the team's attitude, commitment, and intent.""
Juan Musso replaced Jan Oblak and made seven saves, including a low stop to deny Jaume Tovar's penalty, as Atletico Madrid beat Atletico Baleares 3-2 to reach the Copa del Rey last 16. Antoine Griezmann and Giacomo Raspadori put Atletico ahead before Gerardo Bonet pulled one back for the fourth-tier side. Musso, making his fourth appearance of the season, faced late pressure and conceded a 90th-minute penalty converted by Mouhamadou Keita, but Atletico held on. The goalkeeper received praise for hard work, match-defining one-on-ones, and composure, while the team displayed attacking intent and commitment.
