"It's not easy to play a serious game against a lower level opponent"

After a difficult few weeks, Atletico Madrid put the bad memories behind them with a win against Almazan (0-2). The goals came from Correa and Joao Felix.

In fact, Alex Witsel spoke to the media after the game to give his thoughts. "It's not easy to play a serious game against a lower level opponent," he said.

"I don't want to say it's luck, because we're on the pitch and we have to do our job, but in the last few games, with a little bit more luck, it seemed like the ball didn't want to go in," he added.

Along the same lines, Witsel spoke about Atletico's situation: "If we are positive, it's a difficult situation, but there are important players in the group. We can't do anything about the past and we have to look to the future".

"The squad was good, it was important to finish with a win and now we are going to rest a bit for the World Cup and then come back strong again. After that, the important thing will be to have a strong second half of the season until the end," he said.
