Atletico midfielder Koke conceded that Barca had wrapped up the title but questioned the decision to send Costa off. It was a very strange game, we were doing so well until the red card but all the small details went their way,” Koke told reporters. Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa argues with referee Jesus Gil Manzano before receiving a red card during the La Liga match against Barcelona at the Nou Camp. “We knew what the game would be like, Atletico are very organised and after the red card we tried to attack more but it wasn’t easy,” Suarez said. “But we kept going, we showed a great attitude and kept testing their goalkeeper who was the hero of the game.”
