On Wednesday, Atletico Madrid had one of their most difficult Champions League nights in recent years. Diego Simeone’s side were convincing beaten 4-0 by Benfica at the Estadio da Luz – it is a result and performance that Los Colchoneros will be incredibly disappointed about.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, Atleti head coach Diego Simeone took the blame for the crushing defeat.
“The responsibility is mine for trying to create what I wanted to, but it didn’t show. The penalty came very quickly, we went 2-0 down, and we couldn’t generate what we would have liked.”
Simeone also tried to remain upbeat, despite a devasting evening for him and his Atletico Madrid players.
