Atletico coach Diego Simeone urged his players to focus as quickly as possible on the clash against Real in the Champions League, rather than get carried away with Saturday’s home victory of 1:0 over Athletic, which temporarily took the team to first place in La Liga.
— Ahead of us is a big match in the Champions League, and now we must focus solely on it. Before that, we need to recover well, — said Simeone at the press conference. — The most important thing now is to continue strengthening teamwork and not lose concentration, as this is what helped us rise to the top.
