Argentinian coach Diego Simeone expressed his disappointment after Atletico Madrid's exit from the Champions League against Arsenal, confirming that his team had a good run in the tournament but failed to capitalize on crucial opportunities. He praised his fans and players for what he described as great effort throughout the competitions.

Simeone pointed out that his team created chances in both the first and second legs, but lacked the final touch in critical moments, saying that "small details" were what decided the match in Arsenal's favor, despite the strong performance in the second half and attempts to impose control.

Regarding the refereeing controversy after a challenge on Antoine Griezmann, Simeone refused to engage in the discussion, stating that the matters are clear and he does not want to dwell on details, merely saying that his team is out of the tournament, and congratulating Arsenal, which he considered an organized team with a strong project and great capabilities.

As for the future, Simeone revealed the state of frustration within the team, especially after captain Koke's statements calling for continued efforts, where the coach responded briefly by saying that he "currently does not have the strength" to talk about what comes next after the European exit.
