Simeone: "The referee has made a big meeting"

In press conference carried out after the defeat suffered against the FC Barcelona, Simeone showed satisfied with the work of his players against the culés recalcando that "existed two parties" because of the big first part of the Barça. "The first time the Barcelona was better, with a lot of intensity and we play a first bad time. In the second time were competitive and play a nearer party of what went. In the second time was entertained".

The Argentinian technician stood out that the Barça of Luis Enrique showed to be "a grandísimo team". In spite of everything, saw a party with few occasions of goal. "It gives me the feeling that there were few situations of goal. The Barça was more conclusive in the first and the second goal, with a lot of rebounds, and Neymar and Messi resolved very well. In the second time compete and were near of the tie and the played of the third goal closed the party".

On the performance of the referee Undiano Mallenco, that took several unfair decisions for the FC Barcelona, signalled that "the referee made a big party", criticising nevertheless that the goal of Luis Suárez arrived after a hand of Leo Messi, something comic taking into account that the referee gave a penalti to the rojiblancos. "I saw it as I see that it saw in the television, but went a big goal".
