Dani Ceballos’ Jab At Diego Simeone Over The Lost Champions League Finals
The tension between Diego Simeone and Real Madrid shows no signs of ending. The Atlético de Madrid coach's statements after the match between the Whites and Celta, where he suggested that "there were episodes that have existed for 100 years," have not gone unnoticed. These words, interpreted as criticism of the Madrid club, have sparked responses from various fronts.
First, it was Carlo Ancelotti, who defended his team during a press conference, followed by an analysis from Real Madrid TV. However, the latest response came from Dani Ceballos, who spoke after Madrid's resounding 4-1 victory over Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabéu.
"I think 'Cholo' still hasn’t gotten over the two finals he lost to Madrid, but they have their opinions. We just have to keep working and focus on winning, which is what we do best," stated Ceballos with determination at the end of the match.
The midfielder, who was cheered by the Madrid fans, also emphasized the importance of the win at a crucial point in the season: "We knew this victory was key, especially after seeing yesterday's results. We started a bit shaky, but the team stepped up after the first goal and showed character."
Regarding his personal performance, Ceballos expressed satisfaction: "I feel more confident and comfortable on the pitch. Today it was important to take a step forward, and I think we achieved that both individually and collectively."
With this victory, Real Madrid continues its strong run in La Liga, but the controversy with Simeone underscores that the rivalry between the two teams is as intense as ever.
