Diego Simeone's Frustration After Atletico Madrid Was Expelled By Manchester City From The Champions League: I'm A Mess!

JAKARTA - Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone admits that he is frustrated after his team was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2021/2022 Champions League. Atlético was crushed by Manchester City after the second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Thursday, April 14 in the morning WIB, ended in a draw.

Los Rojiblancos' meeting with Manchester City went tough. Even until the second leg was over, no goals were created and ended with the score 0-0.

Atletico Madrid failed to advance to the semifinals because they lost 0-1 on aggregate. In the first leg, Manchester City did steal a 1-0 win at home.

"I'm screwed because we're out. You always want to win, no matter how you win, you always celebrate winning, which is the most important thing in football," Simeone said after the game, quoted by Diario AS.

"We were able to stop them defensively. In the first leg we barely had a chance, today we created chances, three, four or five."

The Argentinean then refused to praise Manchester City's performance in the match. On the other hand, the 52-year-old coach prefers to praise his team's performance despite failing to win.

"I have priorities in life. The first is to win. Then be proud of what we did. We have amazing fans."
