Lisbon (Portugal), Apr 13 (EFE) - (Camera: Miguel Conceição). Atletico Madrid failed to impress in a 1-0 second-leg loss to Sporting Lisbon here Thursday night, but the La Liga side did enough to earn a 2-1 victory on aggregate and secure a berth in the Europa League semi-finals.
SOUNDBITES: SPORTING LISBON MANAGER JORGE JESUS (PORTUGUESE).
TRANSLATION: "We have been eliminated as is evident. We lost against a great team, with a lot of collective and individual quality. In this game we played a great game until the 70th minute when we had to risk everything. From there, Atlético found space and created chances. Until then we dominated the game, 60% ball possession, ten corners against two ... We made a great game even though we did not manage to pass (to the next round) which was the goal."
