“It’s not to do with us, it’s the club’s situation, but the manager isn’t to blame. Mistakes and distractions at certain moments cost us.”

“Whether we win, lose or draw, we always have to be self-critical. Especially when we lose. We have to work hard to make sure we don’t make the same mistakes,” Suarez was quoted by Sport as saying after the match.

It will be recalled that Atletico Madrid emerged winner of the encounter with goals from Koke, Alvaro Morata and Angel Correa despite goals from Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann for Barca.
