Argentine Diego Simeone, the head coach of Atlético Madrid, expressed his complete satisfaction after qualifying, praising his players' performance and the efficiency with which the team decided the match, emphasizing that quality was the decisive factor.

Simeone said about the goalkeeper's performance: "I am very happy for Musso; he was waiting for his chance and played a very good match, making excellent saves on three one-on-one opportunities."

He continued: "In the second half, they had good chances to equalize, and after the 3-1 goal, there were two penalty kicks, but we managed the situation well."

He added about his feelings after the meeting: "I come out with a good feeling. For players who haven't played for a while, it's not easy for them to perform and respond in this way. Their commitment and attitude were clear, and I was impressed with the team."

He continued talking about the opponent: "Atlético Baleares did not surprise me at all. We saw them perform well against Espanyol, defending in an organized manner and playing on the counterattack with good cohesion. And let's not forget that they eliminated Espanyol."

He said about Antoine Griezmann: "This is important for him, he is happier and more comfortable now, he wants to score goals and help the team go far in the tournaments. I am pleased that the team was decisive."

Regarding Lenglet's injury: "We hope the injury is not serious, and once we have the test results, we will clarify the situation better."

He concluded his statements by talking about the result, saying: "When one team is decisive and the other is not, the result is fair. That's how football is. The higher the quality, the easier it becomes to score goals. I didn't feel that the match was about to become complicated. It's true that there were some individual plays that Muso handled excellently."
