Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone shared his thoughts after the crushing 1-4 defeat to Osasuna in the 37th round of La Liga. This defeat deprived Atletico of a chance to get into the top three, and the team ends the season in fourth place with 73 points.
“I am annoyed and offended because we were close to showing one of the best performances in the history of the club. But in the end, we couldn’t take full advantage of the energy that the fans give us,” Simeone said. “We finish the season in fourth place. For the first time, we are the fourth. There’s always a first time. We need to keep working.”
At the end of the La Liga season, Barcelona took second place with 82 points, and Real Madrid won the league title, scoring 94 points a few rounds before the end of the tournament. This is reported by https://bookmaker-ratings.net.za
Interestingly, Atletico have also failed to win trophies in other tournaments this season. The team was eliminated from the semifinals of the Spanish Cup and the Spanish Super Cup, and in the Champions League stopped at the quarterfinals stage, losing to Borussia Dortmund.
Simeone stressed the importance of continuing to work hard and have faith in the team: “We have to use this season as a lesson and strive to improve. The competition in La Liga is getting tougher and we need to be ready for new challenges.”
