Atlético Madrid player Pablo Barrios gave his assessment of the team's performance after their match against Barcelona in La Liga, which ended with a win for Barça. Barrios emphasized the team's spirit despite the loss, noting that the team played well and created several dangerous chances that they were unable to capitalize on.

Barrios said: "We fought until the end. We had several clear opportunities, but the ball didn’t go in. In the end, they scored the third goal to finish the match. We have to forget this game and focus on the next one."

He added about the game plan and missed opportunities: "We know how Barcelona plays with their defensive line. We knew that one way to hurt them was like in Baina's goal. After the goal, we pushed forward quickly, but we were missing two passes before looking for depth, as we did in the second half, where we had more scoring opportunities."

Barrios pointed out the importance of the match for the team's standing: "Today was a great opportunity to strengthen our position there, but the road is still long, and many points are at stake. We need to focus now on the next match."

Barrios concluded his talk by discussing the away performance: "At our home ground, we have won almost every match. We need to improve our performance away from home. I don't know exactly how, but if we did, we would have done it."
