Aguirre quiet on penalty

Atletico Madrid boss Javier Aguirre refused to comment on the suspect penalty awarded against his side last night in the Champions League match with Liverpool at Anfield.

"I was a long way from the incident so I could not see properly. But how things change in one minute of football," he said.

"We were in the last 16 and Marseille had beaten PSV, and then we concede a penalty and it is snatched away, but we just have to keep on fighting.

"We still believe we can top the group, we still need points to qualify with one home and one away game, but we believe we can still finish on top of the group.

"We are going away happy even if it is still just a point. All this against a top side, Liverpool are a fine team.

"We have produced an outstanding team performance against a very good team and we are still very close to qualification."
