Robert Lewandowski, the Polish forward of Barcelona, expressed his disappointment after a 1-2 defeat against Madrid's Atlético in the 18th round of La Liga.
In the last two or three matches, we had some excellent opportunities that we wasted. I personally felt that I lacked a bit of calmness in the penalty area and perhaps some self-confidence. I think the team bonded even more because, in the first half, we showcased a fantastic performance. We looked good, even in the second half, we played admirably, but due to our mistakes, Atletico created chances and scored two goals. We lacked that final touch, which explains the defeat.
