Marcos Llorente, Atletico Madrid player, spoke after his team's 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, confirming that the performance was perfect, but he also emphasized that nothing has been decided yet.

Llorente said: 'It was a crazy match, especially against Barcelona. The team did everything right, we were solid at the back, didn't retreat, pressed forward, and moved well in spaces. Everything went in our favor, the crosses were good, and the goals as well, and we had clearer chances to score more. Clearly, this is the approach, and we have to try to repeat it more often.'

He continued: 'We know Griezmann well, he was at a very high level, he gave us life, the way he sees football and how he plays.'

He added: 'Everyone realizes how important Julian is to us, he proved that last season, he is a key element in the team, we are very happy with his goal, it will certainly relieve some pressure off him. Football is this rigorous, I think what happened today will give us great strength.'

Regarding the video technology, Llorente said: 'What annoys players the most is the time we stop due to the video technology, you feel like you lose the rhythm a bit, I didn't see the goal, I don't know if it was because of a nail or not, the clip should be reviewed faster because you can't stop the match for all this time.'

He concluded his statements by saying: 'I think football has seen worse things than this, bigger results ended up being lost in the end, it's a very mental game, if you concede an early goal there, nothing is decided.'
