The final score of the game was 2-1, and Arsenal's stoppage-time goal knocked out all of Atletico Madrid's sharpness, and in the few moments they were unable to organise an effective counter-attack, and the game was over.

Atletico Madrid won 2-1 but lost 4-5 to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals.

So, there was only one winner of this game, not the Sheets Army who fought at home, but the guests from England.

Arsenal's players celebrated on their opponents' turf, while Atletico Madrid's players began to apologize and thank the fans in attendance after the gloom.

There were tears in everyone's eyes, but the result was irreversible, they could only bear it silently, and then slowly wait for the wound to heal, and then wait for the day to return.

Atletico Madrid fans have gradually calmed down their pain and frustration after the initial loss. In fact, they quickly figured out that Atletico Madrid, a team that can only be considered mid-table in the league, has not only made it all the way to the league this season, but also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which in previous years must have made everyone happy.

Having fought to this point, what reason do they have not to be satisfied?

Champions League winners?

They had hopes.

But that's just a wish.

Atletico Madrid is still young and they still have a chance. As the home commentator said, they just need to lie dormant quietly, and they are convinced that they will soon make a comeback!

"Gabby! Come on! ”

"Qin, come on!"

"Costa, you're the best!"

"Thibaud, don't cry, you've done a great job!"

"Godin. We'll be back next year! ”

……

Looking at the Atletico players who bowed to them from the field, the fans once again gave them warm applause, and called out their names one by one, and each time a person's name was called, the applause became more violent.

Simeone and his assistants also took to the court. The coaches, with tears on their faces, waved to the fans and walked up to the boys, stroking their heads or shoulders and comforting them.

This is a moment of loss.

It was also a heartwarming moment.

Here they used to laugh.

Still here. They tasted the pain of failure.

But no one gives up, no one despairs, today's failures are accumulated for tomorrow's success, and one day, they will come back!

And take away, everything that belongs to them!

"We will be back! Definitely! ”

There is still a tsunami of applause and cheers in my ears, and I still see the crying faces of my teammates, and the smiles of the coaches who are full of melancholy but have to force them.

Qin Shou's heart was very uncomfortable. It hurt, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists again.

He will definitely lead his team back to the Champions League, next time. They don't just want to qualify for the last four of the Champions League, they have to charge towards the highest glory!

In the post-match press conference, Atletico Madrid's head coach Diego. Simeone was long overdue.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expressed understanding. He is well aware of Simeone's mood at the moment and understands that the Atletico players need to be appeased in this situation.

Arsene Wenger shook hands with Simeone before getting to business.

Journalists have a whole bunch of questions to ask. But Simeone clearly wasn't on his mind. He didn't answer reporters' questions, he made an apologetic gesture to Wenger and went straight to the point.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm sorry, I'm not really in the mood to answer them at this moment. I want to make it clear that it was a good game, we played well and my players did well. I'm happy with them and the score in this game says so.

But football is like that, especially in a high-level stage like the Champions League, a win in one game is not enough to say anything, because if you want to qualify, you need a combination of two games. Unfortunately, we lost by two goals in the first game and Arsenal did just as well, so it's no surprise to me who progresses from either team. Congratulations to Coach Arsene Wenger, his team is great.

Of course, we're great too.

Okay, I need to go back to the dressing room and keep communicating with my players, sorry. ”

With that, Simeone got up and shook hands with Arsene Wenger again, then took his leave and left.

Arsene Wenger didn't mind Simeone's slightly "rude" move, he took the microphone and opened his mouth.

"As Coach Diego said, both teams have played really well and it's no surprise who makes the cut.

Of course, we were lucky because we ended up in the last four of the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid are a young team and I'm optimistic about their future and I'm sure no one will deny that. As for Atletico's back-to-back mistakes at the end, no, no, it wasn't a mistake because no one was able to maintain a high level of concentration for 90 minutes in a high-intensity game, Atletico have done a good job, just a little bit more luckily.

I hope we can still have that kind of luck in the next semi-finals......"

Arsene Wenger answered a few more questions from reporters and also left the press conference. His mind wasn't here either, he wanted to get back to the dressing room and celebrate with his players.

Qin Shou met Jennifer outside the stadium and also saw his future mother-in-law, Julia.

The two stood quietly together, looking forward to the direction of the exit, their eyes red and their faces with obvious tears.

Seeing Qin Shou come out, Jennifer was in good spirits, rushed over quickly, and threw herself into Qin Shou's arms.

"Qin ......" Jennifer muttered softly, her voice choked, but she left tears again, "You...... You guys...... It's a pity, it's just a little, it's just a little bit......"

Qin Shou restrained all the fatigue in his eyes, he patted Jennifer's back, and said softly: "It's a pity, but this is football......"

"I know, but I ......" there was a hint of sorrow in Jennifer's tone, "I'm worried about your ......"

"I'm fine. One failure doesn't mean failure all the time, don't you have confidence in me? Qin Shou smiled and made a joke, he sighed deliberately, "It's just a pity that if you want to complete Mr. Chris's task, you have to wait for next year." Jennifer, I'm so sorry you need to wait another year to marry me......"

"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Jennifer blushed and said so softly, raised her head, but saw Qin Shou looking at herself with a smile, and immediately knew that she was being tricked by Qin Shou, she snorted and hit Qin Shou's chest with a pink fist, but the tears in her eyes were gone.

"Ahem~"

While the two were talking, Julia not far away coughed lightly, and Jennifer remembered that her mother was still watching from the side, blushing slightly, and pulled out of Qin Shou's arms.

Qin Shou was cheeky and nodded to the other party with a smile.

"You guys played very well, Qin, don't be discouraged, you're still young, you still have a chance." After a word of encouragement and a thought about it, Julia added, "You're a very nice young man, I'll talk to Chris about you and Jennifer......"

Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the other party meant.

"Thank you, Lady Julia."

Although he lost the chance to qualify for the last four of the Champions League, the earth never stopped turning because of certain things, and time never stopped passing.

Therefore, the days still have to be passed.

This week is also a double week, with Atletico Madrid travelling to play Rayo Vallecano in the 33rd round of La Liga after the Champions League match against Arsenal.

In the past few weeks, Atletico Madrid has been fighting on both fronts, and the players are tired, so despite the loss against Arsenal, it stands to reason that the team will practice more, but considering this special situation, Simeone decided to give the team a day off to use this time to rest and adjust their mentality.

Qin Shou did not rest at home.

On the second day after the game, Jennifer and Julia said goodbye and took the flight back to London, because of work and family matters, the two could not continue to stay in Madrid, although Jennifer wanted to accompany Qin Shou after the defeat of Atletico, but in the end they had to leave.

On the one hand, it was because the vacation given by the London Police Department had arrived, and on the other hand, Qin Shou behaved calmly, and Qin Shou said that he did not want to rest at home, but wanted to go to the training ground to continue training.

Qin Shou's idea is actually very simple, the past has passed, since you can't keep yesterday, then you have to grasp today. Now that they have been knocked out of the Champions League, there is only one battleground left for the league. They only had this one championship to fight for, and Qin Shou didn't want any more accidents.

He also didn't want to be at home, although he was very calm, but in his heart, he was still a little difficult to let go of the elimination, and wanted to make himself tired through training and vent.

Seeing off his girlfriend and future mother-in-law, Qin Shou took a taxi outside the airport and ran directly to Atletico Madrid's training base.

Today is a rest day, Qin Shou thought that the training ground should be deserted, but he didn't expect that he heard someone talking in the field from a distance, listening to this voice, and there were still many people.
