Atletico won the match 3-0.
Stevens said: “Our start wasn’t that bad. However, we were unable to score and they waited until we made a mistake. As soon as we did, they took advantage immediately. That’s the class they have and we lack.
“The loss is disappointing, but it’s better to lose one match 3-0 than losing three matches 1-0. We can still make up for this loss in the next five matches.
“We’re currently in a phase where we’re making progress step by step. Maybe we’ve made two steps in the wrong direction today, but the important thing is that we learn from it for the future.”
