Vietto: Atleti deserved win

Luciano Vietto has claimed that Atletico Madrid ultimately deserved to beat Real Madrid after praising his side for their turnaround.

The Argentine came off the substitutes’ bench to rescue a late point for Los Colchoneros in Sunday’s capital derby at the Vicente Calderon, but he believes his team could have gone one better and earned all three.

“We were able to rescue an important point in an important match and even did enough to win in the end,” he told Canal+.

“It was an important game, played with a lot of tension, and the nervousness played tricks on us.

“However, we had a good second half after we corrected our errors.”

“[Diego Simeone] asked me to play between the line and with profundity.

“When you enter a game, you try to score at least a goal. I hope to help the team and feel well on the pitch.”
