Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home in matchday 7 of LaLiga. During the match, Heuijsen received a red card for fouling Giuliano Simeone. After the match, Giuliano Simeone was interviewed by SportyTV, discussing the derby victory, the course of the match, the controversial referee decision, and support from home fans.

Hello everyone, this is SportyTV. In the Madrid Derby, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1, and now we're with the Man of the Match, Giuliano Simeone. Giuliano, your team won, and you've been named MVP. How are you feeling right now?

Honestly, I'm very, very happy. But most importantly, we could give this victory to our fans. Their performance today was incredible; they sang throughout the match for 95 or 96 minutes, from start to finish. Seriously, it was very impressive. So I'm very pleased to give them these three points.

The second half was a bit difficult. Usually, when you have a numerical advantage, the game should become easier, but it didn't seem that way today.

Yes, but I think the first half was actually very difficult. They pressed us hard, and the intensity of the match was very high; we couldn't find the space we wanted. In the second half, we found more space and could play more freely, and we also had more confidence. I think it was perhaps because of these factors that we ultimately won the match.

Did you see those two controversial incidents? No, I have to say three. The red card, of course, goes without saying, since you were directly involved in Heuijsen's foul. Then there was the incident involving Bellingham and Cristian Romero, and also Lee Kang-in. Did you see all of them?

No. Honestly, I haven't had the chance to see them yet.

What about your incident with Heuijsen?

At that moment, I felt that after I brought the ball forward, he pulled my arm, and at that point I would have been one-on-one with the goalkeeper. If the referee judged it that way, then he made that decision.

In a match like today, playing at home against Real Madrid with fan support, does it feel more special? As I always say, fans are like your 12th player, aren't they?

Yes. We always say that playing at home with fan support, especially on a day like today, is like having an extra player. Because of this, we feel stronger, the intensity of the match is higher, and we also feel better physically. They give us extra strength. So we hope they continue like this throughout the season; we have no doubt about it.

Finally, will this victory also give you an extra boost? Obviously, you know you can compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, and you've already slightly closed the gap between yourselves and Barcelona and Real Madrid.

We always play one match at a time, improving ourselves every day and growing as a team. We always want to do our best and ensure the team can get three points no matter what match we face. Now everyone will go to their respective national teams to continue improving themselves individually and collectively.
