"He hasn't gotten over the two finals he lost against Madrid" - Ceballos responds to Simeone

Madrid added a new victory to improve their lead. The 'Meregue' team, who won 4-1 against Las Palmas, regained La Liga lead after taking advantage of Atletico's defeat at Leganés. Mbappe was the main protagonist on the pitch with two goals and Ceballos was the same in the mixed zone.
The midfielder, who came on as a starter and was given an standing ovation when he was substituted, responded to Simeone, who recently made an ironic comment on 'Los Blancos’ controversial victory over Celta in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey.
"I think El Cholo still hasn't got over the two Champions League finals he lost against Madrid. They have their opinion, we have to keep working and enjoying the victory," commented the Sevillian, who hit out at the Atletico Madrid coach.
On the other hand, Ceballos praised Mbappe's performance. "Mbappe today looked like an animated cartoon, he took the ball and made the difference. It's been a long time since I've seen a player make such a difference on the pitch. This is the Kylian we've all seen before. Everything takes time to adapt and now he's a player who makes a difference for us," he said.
Finally, the midfielder gave his opinion on the criticism received after the Super Cup. "It's understandable, because you can lose, but in a different way. I think the impression is important. It was a tough defeat (against Barca) for us; we were self-critical on a collective and internal level. They weren't easy games afterwards, but we knew the importance of continuing to work and we played two great games", he concluded.
