The Atletico Madridd Sub-19 prevailed over Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Youth League, a match played at the Alfredo di Stéfano and which the rojiblanco team won with two goals from Paul Barrios and another of Sergio Diez.
At the end of the meeting, Fernando Torres, who was acclaimed from the stands throughout the night by the mattress supporters present, reviewed the meeting. He was all happiness, with a smile that gave him away. And he began by thanking the fans.
“First of all, I would like to thank all the athletic fans who have come to the Di Stéfano to see his team, his future players,” said El Niño, later commenting that “it is a day to be happy, because of the team’s effort, because of the result, because of the pass to the quarterfinals, but above all, and once more, as we have said in previous qualifying rounds, for what they represent”.
And the Youth coach explained it clearly: “They are capable of soaking up what Atleti is, of suffering when you have to suffer, of attacking when you have to attack… it’s tremendous. They have a tremendous future with this club and this fans, it is a day to be happy especially for them, “he said in statements to the club.
The rival in the quarterfinals will be the Borussia in Dortmund. “We have to think about the League match, celebrate it and stop the euphoria to concentrate on the League and when we have to go to Dortmund we already know what it will be, we saw their match, they have a great physical level and intensity, we hope to arrive the best way, which is earned, with a positive dynamic”.
