Baena says Atlético deserved to beat Barcelona

Álex Baena said he left the pitch angry after Atlético Madrid's 2-1 home defeat to Barcelona in La Liga, arguing his side deserved all three points. The Atlético attacker spoke to Cadena SER while on international duty with Spain, according to Get Spanish Football News.

Baena said Atlético had clearer chances than Barcelona and wasted the opportunity to take the lead. He added that he "didn't sleep a wink all night" after the match at the Metropolitano.

Barcelona, managed by Hansi Flick, recovered from a first-half deficit to win 2-1. The report did not specify the goalscorers or the timing of the goals.
