The Argentine coach emphasized that his players executed the game plan perfectly, particularly in defense, while remaining clinical in key moments. He also highlighted his team’s ability to suffer and stay compact under pressure.

Simeone noted that beating a team of Barcelona’s quality requires concentration for the full 90 minutes, and he credited his squad for maintaining intensity throughout the match.

What did Simeone say about the victory over Barcelona?

"Have you seen Barcelona and their quality? Did you see who we have eliminated? How they play, the speed they have. I could NOT believe what I was watching when the match started”.
