Diego Simeone continues to wonder how Barcelona wins in LaLiga. His team, with different names and at different times, has tried it up to 16 times but ... This Sunday, the Argentine coach again had to give his explanations with the same sensation as usual when the Barça team (this time dressed with the uniform of the senyera ) has crossed her path. «The team gave everything, we must know the transition year we are in. Patience and tranquility, ”he said, insisting on the complicated thing of reassembling the team after the departure of some heavyweights in the locker room.

There is a compatriot who has been bitter part of the existence since he took the bench of Atletico in 2011. In those 16 adventures, Messi has given him up to 11 blows. In total, he has already scored 30 goals for the rojiblanco team since his first duel in 2006. “When there are spaces, he is a decisive player,” admitted Simeone, who was just as icy as the rest of the rojiblancos fans with that final left-footed shot that pierced the heart of his team. The defeat moves them away from Barcelona and Real Madrid, although now in their head there is another reality. " I'm worried about Sevilla that is going to five points and we think about what we have in front of us," he explained, recovering the message of the objective of being among the first four that seemed to have evolved.

The transition referred to by Cholo has returned that message to the scene. In 15 days, his Atletico has only been able to win six games. And all because of an alarming goal deficit: 16 in 15 days . «Against numbers we cannot say otherwise. We try to find solutions. The only paths are in goal situations and we have generated them, ”he added. "We played a great game, but when Messi appears ..." Saul lamented. "We are in a hard time and worry that the victories do not come," he added.

"Having Messi is an advantage"

«Here you suffer, but having Messi is an advantage», proclaimed with satisfaction Ernesto Valverde, after conquering for the first time a stadium that resisted them in their two previous attempts. But by his head, apart from that redeeming goal of the Argentine, wandered the formidable stops of Ter Stegen . A display of reflexes with which Barça managed to stay afloat until that final lash. "In the field there were two goalkeepers who usually work miracles and that is what the goalkeepers are asked to not let the ball pass," he said of the German goalkeeper's performance, one of the culprits that his team commands the general together to Real Madrid.

It was a special night for Griezmann , who greeted a corner of the stadium where his family was, just jumping for the first time to the grass. It was the only thing that was able to tear a smile from him. The rest, was a permanent roar from which was his hobby. «It's a complicated game from the emotional point of view. The public has asked a little. I've seen him well, fighting and fighting, ”Valverde settled.
