Atlético star reveals why he left Barcelona clash ‘angry’

2

Atlético Madrid star Álex Baena has revealed his take that he and his teammates were deserving of all three points in their meeting with Barcelona this past weekend.

The headline fixture of the most recent La Liga gameweek was of course contested at the Metropolitano on Sunday night.

When all was said and done in Madrid, it was visitors Barcelona who emerged on the right side of a 2-1 result, after recovering from a first-half deficit.

Hansi Flick’s troops were far from their brilliant best across the 90 minutes, but ultimately showcased enough individual quality to get the job done.

Adamant that it was Atlético who should have emerged victorious, though, is Rojiblancos star Álex Baena. Speaking during an interview with Cadena SER whilst on international duty with Spain this week, attacking Baena explained:

“After the match against Barça, I left the pitch angry because we deserved to win; we had much clearer chances than they did, and we missed the opportunity to take the lead, which we shouldn’t have wasted. I didn’t sleep a wink all night.”
