When the white club surpassed its pressure line, he suffered back. "We started the match badly," he admitted he finished the Diego Simeone shock.

In those 15 minutes, also he committed two lateral faults; an unexpected concession of a team that cares so much the details of each party. And they finished off the two in your area.
