Atletico Madrid defender Savic: Lazio a painful point

Atletico Madrid defender Stefan Savic admits there's frustration after their 1-1 draw at Lazio.

Atletico were leading their Champions League opener until Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel struck a 95th minute equaliser for the hosts.

Savic later said: "It is a painful point because we wanted to win.

"It's too bad to concede a goal like that, but that's football. We knew that Lazio like to have the ball. We defended well and then we improved in the game. We just didn't kill the game by making it 2-0.

"We have a lot of desire to do well after last season – and I am sure we will."
