Simeone regrets missed opportunities after Copa del Rey dismissal for Atleti

The hopes of Cheap Replica Atletico Madrid football shirt to win a cup this season has all but faded, as the club was eliminated in the Copa del Rey on Thursday night after a crushing defeat by Athletic Club, which won 4-0 against Mallorca.

It was a disappointing night for Diego Simeone, who has been waiting for a return to the Copa del Rey final (the last Copa del Rey final was in 2013). The Argentina coach reportedly evaluated the 90 minutes at the San Mames Stadium in a post-match interview with the media.

"Losing 3-0 in this match speaks volumes about the work they did, but there were nuances along the way. We started well, with three situations we could have handled better, then they scored the first and second goals. Then it becomes difficult already.

"With the enthusiasm of the 2-0, they were better until the 3-0. Then we had Memphis, Saul, Riquelme with chances. We could never get into the game, we had no attacking power, we were weak defensively."

For Simeone, the goal now is to secure a spot in the top four of La Liga, which would bring back Champions League football - Atleti will be in direct competition with Athletic for this spot.

"We have to continue with the daily effort of what is important for the club, which is to be in the top four in La Liga."

Cheap Atletico Madrid football shirt must now look ahead to Sunday's match against Real Betis, which offers an immediate chance to win again.
