Atletico Madrid's Gimenez Proud to Be Matchwinner Against RB Leipzig

He later admitted, "Our defensive mistake proved costly. We had discussed the importance of being prepared for counterattacks and holding off the opponent, knowing they had the ability to retreat and strike on the break. Unfortunately, our failure to do so led to their goal on the counterattack."

"Conceding a goal makes things much more difficult, but the team never stopped fighting, dreaming and believing, and the goal came at the end, which is a credit to the work they did throughout the match.

"We are fine, happy, enjoying ourselves. In the end, it is everyone's job. I am grateful to my teammates for the confidence they always give me, to the coaching staff who always trust me and to these wonderful people (the fans) who always support me."
