"For me, Atlético were ready for battle. It was a match at the level of the Champions League. In the first 45 minutes we didn't have a good competitive attitude, especially in the duels. They were more dynamic. I want to see this from my team, today I liked what I saw in training. We must transfer it to the pitch tomorrow."
"In today's session it was very good. I saw confidence, we scored goals... we lost Thursday's game... It was a lesson, but life goes on. We have to accept defeat and we have to focus and be confident. We have a lot of quality and we can beat any team. But if we're not focused, what happened in the first 45 minutes against Atlético happens."
"Chelsea and Atletico are teams of great quality. We didn't play well against them, against Chelsea we played a lot of minutes with 10 players. But this is part of the past and I prefer to focus on the future. We have a lot of quality and it doesn't matter who we play against and their system. It depends on us and our level."
Atlético displayed a ready, battle-like approach and raised the match to Champions League standards. The team lacked a competitive attitude in the first 45 minutes, especially in duels, while Atlético were more dynamic. Training showed confidence and goal-scoring that must be transferred to match play. The team must move forward, accept defeat as a lesson, stay focused, and react positively. High-quality opponents like Chelsea and Atlético exposed shortcomings, including playing many minutes with ten players against Chelsea. The future focus should be on team performance and maintaining focus, since quality can defeat any opponent when applied consistently.
