The first departure from Atletico, after the semi-final lost to Arsenal?! “I'm very broken down”

• Arsenal will face one of Bayern and PSG in the grand final. In the round, the Parisians prevailed with an improbable 5-4.

• The 2026 Champions League final takes place in Budapest on May 30.

The Spanish midfielder did not hide his disappointment, admitting that this season has been below expectations for Atleti, both in Europe and in La Liga.

Asked directly about his future at the club where he has spent his entire career, the Spain international avoided a blunt answer, fueling speculation of a possible departure this summer.

Koke, statements after Arsenal – Atletico Madrid 1-0: “They were more pragmatic than us”

“I'm very hurt, very broken, but proud of my team. We gave everything. We could have scored, but the ball didn't want to go in; the same happened in the tour match. Football is about pragmatism and they were more pragmatic than us

Both on the Metropolitano and here, we had opportunities to take the lead and then equalize. They found their way to goal and were efficient

I will not talk about the referee as he tried to do his best. He knows how he refereed. He probably tried his best, there's nothing to say. I have nothing to reproach anyone, the team was looking for victory, but it was not possible.

It was a season that gave us a lot of hope in the Cup and the Champions League. In the championship we weren't consistent, we didn't rise to the level we should have and we lost points on pitches where we weren't allowed to.

This group is growing tremendously and I am sure that in the very near future they will be fighting for all the trophies. (no – What is your future?) We will speak when the time is right to speak,” said Koke, quoted by Marca.
