Barrios: The win was important for Koke and his family

Pablo Barrios, Atlético midfielder, spoke about the victory over Manchester United by a score of 2-0, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League, noting that the win carries special importance for Koke and his family, in light of the death of the team captain's mother.

Parios spoke about the message he wanted to convey after scoring and celebrating with a gesture of the number 6 on his hands: "The first thing was very important for Koke and the whole family. This victory is for them."

Speaking about the death of his mother, Atlético player Koke said: "It was very tough news. I had just woken up from a nap, and I was saying that if I scored a goal, I would do it. The goal helped us control the match."

Regarding the controversy surrounding the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology, Barrios stated: "The team played a good match. They created chances, but we played a very serious game."

Regarding the potential handball by Marcos Llorente before the goal scored by Cardoso, which was disallowed, he concluded: "I wasn't sure, and I didn't see it."
