Diego Simeone praised Atletico Madrid for their performance and the chances they had after drawing 1-1 at Real Madrid. Atletico
took the lead in the first half through a Julian Alvarez penalty but Madrid equalised in the second half through Kylian Mbappe to level the scores. “In the first half
we dealt well with counter-attacks, one-on-ones and control near the penalty area, but we lacked the sharpness to convert our chances,” Simeone said สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที . “In the second half
the situation changed but we stayed in the same position. I think there were moments when we could have done better. They could have equalised but there were moments when it looked like we could have won,”
Simeone said of referee Cesar Soto’s performance in the game after two crucial incidents.
“This afternoon in the game between Athletic and Girona there was a similar handball incident and the referee was called to see VAR… It was similar. “
I think the referee handled it well. Some people may see it as a red card for Ceballos and think VAR should have called, but others may not see it that way. The referee made the decision he understood and VAR decided that it was not necessary to call. I think overall he did a good job.”
Simeone also spoke about the title race and, in his view, it is not Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid who are the favourites at the moment
. “We are in a very good position but Barcelona are the best team, they are playing very well and if they win against Sevilla, the table will be very tight and it will be fun for journalists to watch,” added the Argentine.
