The Capital club were held to a 1-1 draw at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon, occupying 6th place in La Liga with 5 points separating them from UEFA Champions League qualification.
With two matches remaining until the culmination of 2011/12 La Liga season, Atletico Madrid suffered a major setback in their pursuit of qualifying for UEFA Champions League. Los Rojiblancos were held to a 1-1 draw in Madrid by Real Sociedad, denying them
two important points in the process.
Youth academy product, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Vela-c8558, who scored by Real Sociedad in stoppage time.
El Cholo was understandably distraught by the negative result at home which seriously dented their chances of qualification for Champions League football. However, the Argentine remains resilient in realising their ambitions.
Analyzing the details of the match, Simeone stated that the dressing room is gloomy at the moment after a fatiguing outing against Real Sociedad.
"After the game, I came upon an dressing room of sorrow," Simeone told reporters. "We have dropped four important points [in two games].”
"We were working hard and in the second half we finally found the goal. We had things in control but then, in the last play of the game, we conceded the equaliser.”
El Cholo commented that they will continue to work hard until the time qualification is still possible and will not  lose hope.
"However, the guys are working hard and we will fight while it is still possible. There are, though, many contenders for the Champions League and Europa League places."
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/River-Plate-c40368 manager has worked wonders since assuming the manager’s position at the Vicente Calderon, raising them to contenders for UEFA Champions League qualification from mid-table obscurity at the end of December.
El Cholo has been helped by the instrumental goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, who has led the goal scoring charts for Atletico Madrid. The form of Colombian international has a handsome tally of 32 goals to show for his season’s efforts, propelling the Capital
club to UEFA Europa League final in the process.
