Gaizka Garitano spoke to the media in the post-match press conference and made an assessment of the game against Atlético de Madrid: 'We played a very good game as we've been doing, but we didn't get the prize. We've conceded two goals that were too easy, the first two times they approached our box, they found the back of the net, from then on, we've been better at everything, he also highlighted: 'We can compete against anyone, I'm very proud of my team, but sad for not being able to score.'

UD Almería have not stopped trying their best at all times, and have managed to take the game to them. We've taken 14 corner-kicks and 18 shots on goal, we've dominated play, but here only winning is worth it, merit is worth nothing.'

The Basque Country native also stated: 'The team makes a good impression, we're making the games difficult for everyone' although he pointed out 'but here we winning is that counts in the end, not making a good impression.'

Finally, the Rojiblancos' gaffer made it clear: 'The calendar does not worry me because we're doing well, we've played good games against Betis, Real Sociedad, Getafe... The team competes well, we have to try to continue improving and the only thing left to do is keep on working hard, we have to give it our all everyday,' he concluded.
