Atletico Madrid defender, Ruben Lo Normand, admitted the difficulty of the defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League after Virgil van Dijk's winning goal in the 92nd minute, despite the Spanish team drawing 2-2 after trailing 2-0.

Regarding the second half and the team's performance, he said: "In the second half, we performed well and created some chances, and there are very positive things in this match that was of a high level and had great intensity. As competitors, we want to win; we made a great effort to win the points."

On the difficult start and compensating for the score: "There are good things and others that need improvement; we did not start the match well, they were more intense in the first minutes and scored two goals, but we came back in the score afterward. We should focus on the positive aspect of being aggressive and winning individual duels. We drew in the match, and then a corner kick gave them the win."

About the first goal and the overall team performance: "It's true that the first goal came from a rebound; it was isolated moments, but overall, the first 20 minutes were tough for us. After that, we came back into the match, focused more on our attacks, and on our strength and quality. We put in a fight and showed a very good image; it is difficult now because we fought hard in the match."
