Hupu September 18th Atletico Madrid lost to Liverpool 2-3 in the first round of the Champions League. Although he scored two goals in a row in the game, he was still defeated in the end. Atletico Madrid defender Robin Lenormann was interviewed by the media after the game. He acknowledged the difficulty of the Champions League and expressed regret for the results. I think there are positive aspects of this game and there are areas that need improvement.

"In the second half, we faced difficulties and created opportunities, there was a lot of very positive stuff in this game, it was a very intense, very high level game. Then, as competitors, we wanted to win. We had already put in the effort to get the points away, and it was a shame," he commented in an interview with Movistar TV.

"There are good aspects and there are areas that need improvement. We didn't start well, they were more intense in the first few minutes and scored two goals, but we turned the situation around afterwards. It is important to remember the other side we showed later: aggressive, won the confrontation, we equalized the score, and then a corner, they won."

"Indeed, the first goal was a rebound with luck, these were isolated rounds, but overall, we struggled more for the first 20 minutes. After that, we turned the situation around. We believed in our offense, our strength and our level, and everyone saw a game, we fought and showed a very good spirit. It's hard now because we lost for this game."
