Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has admitted his side were outplayed by Barcelona following their LaLiga loss at the Metropolitano.
The Argentine said Atletico must learn from the defeat after failing to match their opponents’ efficiency in front of goal.
Fermín López scored twice to secure victory for Hansi Flick’s team, while Giuliano Simeone’s effort proved insufficient for the hosts.
Speaking after the match, Simeone praised his players’ effort but acknowledged Barcelona’s clinical finishing.
“I will take away an extraordinary performance from the players; I have no complaints. We put the opposition under pressure in an area where they weren’t comfortable.
“They were able to capitalise on the chances they created and they were more decisive than us.”
The result keeps Barcelona at the summit of LaLiga, with Atletico Madrid occupying third place.
