Alexander Sørloth had a fairly honest assessment of Atlético Madrid’s 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, acknowledging that his team struggled to maintain its intensity after the break against one of Europe’s strongest sides.
The Norwegian striker felt Atlético had done a reasonable job defensively during the first half, creating opportunities to hurt Bayern on the counterattack. However, the hosts ultimately lacked the quality in the final third to capitalize on those openings.
“Bayern are one of the best teams in the world. We defended well in the first half, had a few good counters and goalscoring opportunities.
