Barrios: “This victory is especially for Koke and his family”

Following a 2-0 victory against Manchester United in the Champions League on October 13 in Madrid, Atlético de Madrid players Pablo Barrios and Johnny Cardoso dedicated the win to their teammate Koke Resurrección. The team's collective focus remained on Koke, who was absent from the match due to the recent passing of his mother.

Barrios and Cardoso both highlighted the emotional weight of the fixture, noting that the victory was intended as a gesture of support for Koke and his family during their bereavement. The players emphasized that the match held significance beyond the sporting result, serving as a tribute to their teammate and his relatives, including family member Borja.
