"Does it feel like a victory? No, but we took a crucial point"

Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente, scorer of the 93rd-minute equaliser against Real Madrid in Sunday's derby, said that the way "the game was going" it is "a crucial point here" and highlighted his team's work throughout the game to get "this prize".

"We took a point and they only got one. We're happy with the team's work and there are important games left now," he explained to 'Movistar'.

The Spanish midfielder dismissed the fact that this 1-1 draw at the end feels like a victory: "No, because we don't have the three points, but, as the game was, we've taken a crucial point here."

Diego Simeone changed the system several times during the match. "They also played differently, other players and the coach, in one way or another, tried to get the team in a better position. I think we succeeded in the end. We did a great job and we got a point," he said.
