Atletico Madrid players may have lost confidence. Atletico Madrid lost against Getafe. The team was also eliminated from the Champions League after losing against Real Madrid. And they also lost against Barcelona in a match they completely controlled. After leading 2-0 until 70 minutes, it is certainly sad to concede 4 goals in the last 20 minutes. Diego Simeone will now have to work with his squad in a new way. If the players are not confident, Atletico Madrid will not be able to do well in the upcoming matches.
In the last 20 minutes of the match, I couldn't believe that Atletico Madrid was going to lose the match. In the first 70 minutes, Atletico Madrid's victory was almost certain. No one was willing to bet on Barcelona or dream of Barcelona winning. But Barcelona's players made the almost impossible possible. I think Atletico's biggest mistake was taking Julian Alvarez off the field in the second half.
They were creating some great chances when he was on the field, but in the second half they started to lose confidence. This is probably Barcelona's worst match of the week. Atletico Madrid have started to lose confidence after losing their last 4 matches. We will see the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final again. In that match on the 3rd, no team is ahead, Atletico Madrid has a great chance to avenge the loss.
