Marcos Llorente was once again decisive for Atlético. He scored the winning goal in Elche (0-1), minutes after assisting Suárez, whose goal annulled the VAR for offside. In the 89th minute he also participated in a key play, committing a penalty by hand. However, the international made an assessment of the meeting in Movistar.
What does this triumph mean?
It was an obligation to win, it was very important for everyone. The team has known how to carry out the game. At this time we all play a lot, some for the top, others for not descending … All the rivals are at the top and a great Elche has been seen. We take all three points and it gives us great satisfaction.
They have protested a lot the lack prior to the penalty (Trippier's hand) …
From the inside I have seen that it was not a fault, although I have not seen any repetition, but my feeling is that there was nothing.
Has luck accompanied you in that action?
Starting from the fact that I don't believe in luck … In the end, if he got to the goal, Oblak had guessed the shot. We got the points and it gives us a lot of strength for what remains.
What does this 0-1 mean for the final four?
It gives us a lot. Winning is always positive, confidence increases, and today is one of those days. When there is little left, little must be given.
