For the first time in his coaching career, Simeone and his players conceded 4 goals in just 13 minutes. Cameras captured the moment the Argentine coach looked dejected on the sidelines as Atletico suffered consecutive goals.

“We played well until Arsenal scored the first goal, then we couldn't stop them," Simeone said in his post-match press conference. "It wasn't a matter of luck. Arsenal took advantage of all our mistakes. They had chances and they all turned into goals."

After Julian Alvarez hit the crossbar early in the second half, the visitors Atletico completely collapsed. The Gunners scored four goals in a row thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and a double from Viktor Gyokeres to complete a devastating victory at the Emirates Stadium.

“We can learn a lot from this game,” Simeone added. “Individual mistakes affected the whole team. We lost set pieces, we defended too poorly for the third goal. These are small details but they decided the outcome of the game.”

With this result, Atletico is now ranked 18th and will have to make a great effort if they want to win a ticket to the next round. In the first round, the La Liga representative also lost 2-3 to Liverpool at Anfield.

Simeone's team will return home to host Union Saint-Gilloise (Belgium) in the next match on November 4.
