Atletico Madrid coach Simeone: Alisson earned Roma their point

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone admitted frustration after their 0-0 draw at Champions League opponents Roma.

The Rojiblancos had chances to win the game but couldn't take them.

"You have seen a team that believed in itself, in everything we had prepared," Cholo said to reporters.

"We just missed scoring a goal, which is the most important thing in football.

"We've had great chances with Vietto, Koke, Saul... but their goalkeeper had a great game."

But for Roma's custodian Alisson, the scoreline could've been more favourable for the Spaniards.

"You have to keep trying [to score]," Simeone continued.

"We deserved to score, and would have if not for their keeper."
