(Reuters) -Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone lamented his side's poor performance as their slim LaLiga title hopes were dealt a major blow in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Las Palmas, admitting his side needed "perfect numbers" to stay in contention.

Third-placed Atletico conceded a last-gasp goal to fall to the relegation-threatened hosts, remaining on 63 points, 10 behind leaders Barcelona and three adrift of second-placed Real Madrid, who host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
