Robert Lewandowski admitted that Barcelona are "p*ssed off" after their dramatic 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid, with a last-minute winner from Alexander Sörloth leaving them stunned.
Barcelona had taken the lead through Pedri and seemed in control for much of the match, but Atletico capitalized on their mistakes, and Sörloth's 96th-minute goal sealed the victory for Diego Simeone’s side, who moved to the top of La Liga.
Lewandowski shared his frustration, revealing the mood in the dressing room. “I think the locker room is p*ssed off. We played a good match. It looked great in the first half, and in the second as well. Atletico created situations after our mistakes. In the last minute, it was a draw, and we played as if we were losing in the final and had to score a goal at all costs.”
He added, “The season is long. We had some turmoil. With a young team, jumps in form happen. We played well against Atletico, but we lost. This is a lesson for us. We missed the icing on the cake.”
Barcelona now sit third in La Liga, having won just one of their last five games. They will have the winter break to reflect on the loss before facing lower-league Barbastro in the Copa del Rey on January 4. They will then take on Athletic Bilbao in the Supercopa de España semi-finals, before returning to La Liga action on January 18 against Getafe.
