Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone refused to discuss the match officials after their 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad.

La Real felt aggrieved after the intervention of VAR denied them victory.

Simeone said: "I think we had the situations to win the game. The first half was very good for my taste, they played as they usually play, we wanted to play the way we wanted to play, we came out quite well from counterattack, we went through the game very quickly between defense and attack, with good situations.

"A pity that second goal that possibly hits João's biceps, the VAR collaborates to annul the goal, but a lot of positive situations were seen. In the second half we decided to take out Saúl, who had a yellow card, also De Paul, Llorente and there were many important footballers with a yellow card.

"Kondogbia entered, I think they started the second half better, until the goal they dominated and after the goal the changes revitalized us, the entry of Correa, Griezmann and Hermoso gave another plus to the team."
