"We competed well; It is not easy to play well with Atletico"

Quique Sánchez Flores praises the team's game, but says that the final result leaves "a feeling of emptiness"

Espanyol lost to Atlético Madrid despite playing, probably one of the best games of the season. The white and blue coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, said at a press conference his satisfaction with the game although he regretted the final result. "We do not like to lose. When you lose, you have a feeling of emptiness. I think we competed very well; It is not easy to play against Atlético, but the result leaves us a feeling of emptiness", he said.

Sánchez Flores has indicated that "you have probably seen some of the best phases of the game and we are going in that direction. We need a very precise day to play such a game, to have a lot of confidence to reach this level of play and we have found it. We continue in the pursuit of our growth and these parties measure us and lead us to a higher challenge".

The coach has assured that "we played the game imagined and the footballers leave satisfied, but the result takes away the smile".
