“I am happy to debut with this shirt, to be able to get to know my teammates, to get to know what the coach asks of me,” he said.

“[I was] anxious, I really wanted to be able to play and share some previous training sessions to find out how the group and the coaching staff are managing. I’m very happy.

“That Atlético notice me is a pride, not only for what [Diego Simeone] represents as a coach, but for what he has represented for many Argentines who came to the club.

“I learned of the [club’s] interest through my representative, who had communicated with him. Very happy for this opportunity that was given to me and, as I always say, a lot of responsibility for the club.

“Obviously, it (was) my first game with the team and I have to get to know my teammates and the movements they make when it comes to defending. And when it comes to attacking, the same thing, knowing the characteristics of each one.

“I felt good, comfortable, I really enjoyed being able to play with this shirt. Go game by game to improve a lot.”

Molina will have the next chance to impress Simeone and his Atleti team-mates when the club faces Cádiz on Thursday.
