Answering the questions raised by the media, Simeone said: “The entire world is now going through a different phase right now. So if we can make people happy, it surely means a lot to us. The 32 players, I think, are involved. They are all as important as one. I am very grateful.”

Suarez added: “My only job is to help the team and pay for it by scoring goals for the team. Sometimes it is necessary to push a lot. 

But Atletico is a great club, and we have shown them this season. We were a very average player, and that’s why we are champions now.”

Although Benzema scored an equalizer in the 87th minute and Modric beat Real at the time of injury. 

It was not enough as Atletico players were celebrating on the pitch with other away fans gathered outside Valladolid.

“Right now, we simply need to relax, and when the situation gets calms down in the next few days. I’ll talk to the club, and that’s it. But today is not the day,” said Zidane.

“Soon, we will get to see what happens next. Not only me but also the whole club is planning for next season. The media have already said it. We haven’t won anything this year, and we know what we have to do for this club.”
