The midfielder regrets letting the top spot slip away, and Rubén Uría agrees with him
Rubén Uría agrees with Álex Baena: Atleti did not deserve to lose to Barça
Speaking to Cadena SER, Álex Baena admitted he went to bed angry after the defeat to Barça: Atlético de Madrid had more chances, and clearer ones.
El Club Uría opens with the interview Álex Baena gave to 'El Larguero', Cadena SER's late-night sports radio show, from the Spain national team's training camp at Las Rozas. One of the comments that made the most noise was how he felt after the match against FC Barcelona.
Baena explained that he left angry because, in his view, Atlético de Madrid deserved to win: they created far more chances than their opponents, and clearer ones, and let slip an opportunity to go top that should not have been wasted.
Rubén Uría picks up the thread and sides with the player without reservation. He insists that Atleti did not deserve to lose and that, in the first half, they could easily have gone in at the break 2-0 or 3-0 up.
