“Tonight, we failed and we don't want to make those errors again because it cost us a final”, said the Brazilian.Marcelo rtook questions from the press after the game against Atlético: "Football is like that. The winners are those who make fewer mistakes. Tonight, Tonight, we failed and we don't want to make those errors again because it cost us a final. They made fewer mistakes and deserved to win it. These are mistakes resulting from fatigue, from not much training. Many players have been late back due to the World Cup, but that is no excuse."
"We played well and we had the ball for almost the whole game. It is tough to start by conceding a goal at the start and after that we failed in two attempts that almost never fail. That cost us the tie. In extra time we tried our best, but we were battle worn and I think that slowed us down quite a bit."

"You have to focus on what we did well today. I feel that we put in a good shift. We had the ball, played as a team, and we fought as best we could. We need to change our mindset because we have a whole season ahead of us. I don’t make the signings. The squad looks good to me. We are united as a group. We played a good game until extra time."
