A Radamel Falcao strike early in the second half appeared to have earned Atletico a draw after Daniel Alves had opened the scoring before the break, but an 81st minute Lionel Messi free-kick gave Barca the three points. It was Atletico\'s first defeat since coach Diego Simeone arrived at the club, and Adrian believes his side deserved a better result. \"We played really well and we did not deserve to lose,\" he told reporters. \"After the break, the coach told us that only one goal was setting the two teams apart and that we could turn things around if we worked hard. \"Right after that we were able to equalise and that allowed us to push more and not let Barca relax.\" The result leaves Atletico three points behind the Champions League qualification places, and Adrian has called on the team to show a reaction in the upcoming visit to Sevilla. \"It will be a very important and complicated match,\" the Spanish striker noted. \"We will go for the three points because that is the path we have to follow.\"
