REACTION FROM ATLETICO’S MARCOS LlORENTE
“They’re a top side. They’re at the highest level and we’ve shown we deserved to beat them. I had a big chance, so did Correa. But you need to take your chances and we only scored once.”
REACTION FROM ATLETICO’S STEFAN SAVIC
“We’ve played a great game tonight, making a number of chances. I think we deserved the win. They didn’t create too many chances, just the penalty. It’s a shame to lose three points, but we need to look forward and we’ve got one more game in order to seal qualification.”
MORE FROM SIMEONE
“That’s football. We’re definitely on the right path. The side are working hard and the players are in good form. It’s not always easy to be clinical, but we’ll improve in these situations. I liked how calm we were on the ball.”
REACTION FROM DIEGO SIMEONE
“It was a brilliant first half. I think until 15 or 20 minutes into the second we were in control, but then they got the penalty. We’re improving and we’ll need to be more clinical next Wednesday.”
MULLER IN THE TOP TEN
FLICK ON MUSIALI
“Jamal is very much appreciated by our players, he has great quality with the ball at his feet and is hard to stop in duels. He still has to get strong. Bayern can be very pleased to see Jamal play.”
REACTION FROM HANSI FLICK
“It is a successful evening for us, we have a new perspective on some things. I am very pleased with this result. When we made the changes after an hour of play and when Mueller and Gnabry came onto the pitch, we got some momentum.”
