Juliano Simeone, a player for Atletico Madrid, commented on the heavy defeat his team suffered against Barcelona in the 28th round of the Spanish league, after the team was leading 2-0 before the Catalan club made an exciting comeback and won 4-2.

Simeone spoke about the moment the match turned upside down, confirming that Barcelona's first goal was the major turning point in the match: "When the opposing team scores their first goal, it is a huge shock; it’s a goal that comes suddenly and completely surprises you. We felt a lot of pressure afterwards and became very weak at that moment."

He added: "After their second goal, fear took hold of us, and we couldn't handle the situation well. We didn't know how to regain our balance, and that ultimately cost us the match."

Despite the frustration from the loss, Simeone emphasized the importance of quickly overcoming this result and focusing on the next match: "Now we need to rest and prepare for what’s coming. We have an important match against Espanyol, and we must focus on it. Our goal is to collect the three points and move forward."

He continued: "With the great support we receive from our fans at our stadium, it cannot be said that the fatigue was mental; it was clearly physical. Nevertheless, we are ready to give more, and we should have done that."

The Argentine player concluded his remarks by affirming his full commitment to helping the team at any moment, indicating his complete readiness to give his all for the club: "I always strive to give my utmost and consider everything the coach asks of me. I am ready to give everything I have for the team and the club, and I will always be prepared to fight until the end."
