He commended Atlético Madrid and their coach Diego Simeone for their impressive performance, suggesting that the best team ultimately prevailed. Guti’s tweet added, “Congratulations to the Cholo for his immense work, in the end the best team of the confrontation came through. Now some will watch the draw from home.”
These sentiments reflect the intense rivalry and competitive spirit that defines the relationship between the two Madrid clubs and Barcelona, adding extra spice to the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.
