Diego Simeone was frustrated by Atletico Madrid's failure to capitalise on their control in their 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in the first-leg of their last 16 Champions League tie. (More Football News)
After Rodrygo had put Carlo Ancelotti's side ahead, Julian Alvarez restored parity in the 32nd minute with a stunning curling effort that crashed off the post on its way in.
Alvarez has now scored seven goals in nine appearances in the Champions League this season, with only Diego Costa in 2013-14 and Vava in 1958-59 (both eight) scoring more in their first European campaign for Atletico.
Following their equaliser, the visitors바카라 웹사이트were able to unsettle Real and dominate possession, but they were unable to turn that into바카라 웹사이트clear-cut chances for themselves.바카라 웹사이트
And their profligacy was punished 10 minutes into the second half when바카라 웹사이트Brahim Diaz danced his way into the area before finishing past바카라 웹사이트Jan Oblak from close range.바카라 웹사이트
Indeed, Atletico have now lost each of their last four away games in the knockout stages of the Champions League, their longest losing run away from home바카라 웹사이트at this stage of the competition since 1969-1971 (five).바카라 웹사이트
Simeone, however, said he was happy with how his team reacted to Rodrygo's early opener, adding that he felt confident they could turn the tie around in the second leg.바카라 웹사이트
"We should have taken better advantage when we had control of the game," he바카라 웹사이트said. "It's difficult to take risks so that with any counter-attack you end up losing the game.
"We controlled that situation very well, but we were missing (something) in the final metres."
Simeone was also assured that the atmosphere in front of their own supporters would give his players an edge to mount a comeback, as they did against Inter at this stage of the competition last year.바카라 웹사이트
But that task could have been made even harder in the closing stages, with Kylian Mbappe failing to find Vinicius Junior in the final moments after a swift counter-attack.바카라 웹사이트
"Maybe the hope of that no goal opens the door for what's to come," Simeone concluded.바카라 웹사이트
