Atlético Madrid has an appointment this Wednesday for the return match of the knockout stages of the Champions League against Real Madrid. After a defeat on the outward journey (1-2) in Santiago Bernabéu, the Colchoneros will try to start their neighbors back to the Metropolitano. A completely feasible challenge for Diego Simeone.
Present at a press conference before the meeting, the Argentinian coach was confident about the chances of his team to continue the European adventure. He also took the opportunity to forcefully recall the club's ambition, namely reaching the final in Munich next May.
“I trust my team”
“Qualification is possible because I believe in my players. Because I trust my team. Because I understand and perfectly interpret the hearts of my players. And I have no doubt that we are going to play to try to continue in this Champions League because our goal is to play the final ”, El Cholo said in front of journalists.
If Atlético won its ticket for the quarterfinals, the Madrid team will find itself facing the winner of the double confrontation between Arsenal and the PSV Eindhoven.
