Atletico Madrid missed the opportunity to go provisionally top of LaLiga Santander on Saturday evening as they drew away to Villarreal and Koke spoke of his disappointment that they could not take all three points.
The midfielder said that the Rojiblancos were upset not to continue their recent run, but that attention now turns to the Champions League.
"We came here to win," Koke said after the game.
"We really wanted to continue our streak.
"We let a great opportunity escape but now we are looking at the Champions [League]."
Speaking of Saturday's game itself, the midfielder regrets that they couldn't take maximum points.
"In the second half the game was very open," he added.
"After the goal we took a step back.
"Then we had the chance with [Thomas] Lemar, who almost scored."

I was waiting for gelson Martins to feature. .and yet he was benched. ...atletico need to stop that habit of scoring one goal and defend
gelson is a gem we need to use him more often

You are painful as a soccer player but painful. Without speed failing half of passes everything that goes through your boots ends in nothing. Playing with you is like playing with one less, but it is the cholo's morrow. Today it was as easy as getting Lemar out for the package that is not worth even the regional and leaving Rodri with Thomas and Saul. Above Lemar by the center and this by band! But we are blind!

I'm from Cholo, we're where we are thanks to him, having said that, he's wrong with the changes, if the center of the field works well ... DO NOT TOUCH it, take out Correa or Lemar by Kalinic or Griezman and keep working as in the first part. We tied for removing the best half Spanish center, RODRI with him we would have won.

Atento Simeone, the fact that some followers denounce your excessive prudence is relatively important, but to ratify players is directly worrying, because you have a very good template, enough to clearly win a good team like Villarreal.

i love my team but one issue they have is that they only score one goal or hardly two and then they all are back.....I hate them in that but still I love them. I hope they find something better in the coming match's

I can’t agree more lol. Yesterday we performed really bad, maybe due to the absence of Costa and Godin tho.But Instead of being sad about this l, I just want to see them can perform well in the Champions League coming up

To score only one goal is not bad as far as all the 3 points are secured. The problem with our Atletico Madrid ist that when they scored, the all defend. To scored in 53 minutes and started defending against a team like Villarreal will surly backfire. Is not as if they can't pressure there opponent, they really pressed them in the last 5 minutes and had it been they did the same after scoring the goal, we the fans will sleep with happiness and joy. Nothing doesn't went wrong yet because we are only 2 points behind the leaders ( Barcelona) so as we are still in the race for supremacy, let's hope better for our beloved Atletico Madrid.

I agree with you. When they score just one goal they are not pushing and don't try to score more
