Even with chances of winning, Atlético-MG bumped into the strong Palmeiras and ended up being eliminated from Libertadores in the round of 16
O Atlético-MG is eliminated from Libertadores. Last Wednesday, the 9th, Galo was tied by zero to zero against palm trees, at Allianz Parque, and did not guarantee a place in the next phase of the continental competition. With the 1-0 triumph in the first leg, at Mineirão, Verdão arrived with an equality advantage for the duel in São Paulo.
Faced with the early elimination, the side Guilherme Arana granted a press conference and didn’t want to mince words. Upset with the farewell to Libertadores, the Galo player regretted the result against Palmeiras. He even cited the unbelievable bid of Paulinhowho lost a goal without a goalkeeper in the final stretch of the second half.
“It bothers me because I think it’s the only title I’m missing here in Brazil, it’s Libertadores. Regardless of the championship, you being eliminated is, sorry for the word, shit. We always want to be fighting for titles. Unfortunately once again we were eliminated by Palmeiras. But it’s football, football is detail“, regretted Guilherme Arana at a press conference.
“We had the game ball there at Paulinho, but it’s part of it. I’ve made mistakes many times too and I’ve come back, things that only people are subject to go through there. It won’t be the first time that Paulinho makes a mistake, it may be that in other circumstances he can decide a game, but unfortunately today the ball was in his foot”, said the side from Atlético-MG.

Questioned about the continuation of the season for Atlético-MG, Guilherme Arana asked the cast to calm down to get back on top. Obviously, the winger was upset with the elimination, but he has already projected total focus on the Brasileirão. It should be noted that Galo had gone ten games without a win since the arrival of the coach Felipe.
Answering a little, it’s having your head in place, keep working, I’ve made mistakes many times too, I’ve already come back on top, these are things that only people are subject to go through, it’s part of it. It’s raising your head and playing an excellent Brazilian now“, concluded Arana in the conversation with the journalists.
Right after the game, the coach Felipe gave a press conference and opened the game about the setback of the Rooster. Always sincere, he praised the team’s attitude for much of the game, but focused on the crucial error of Paulinho. When dribbling the rival goalkeeper, the attacker had the goal open and kicked it out. Annoyed, Scolari vented and detonated the bid.
“Hit and miss, as we hit and miss like in any profession in life. It collapses in a moment, but when that moment is over, we rise again. We had the game ball, although Palmeiras predominated in the first half. And we had a move that we can’t talk about, nothing, which is the referee who blows the whistle“, vented Felipão in a press conference.
