Atletico Madrid's manager, Diego Simeone, feels optimistic about his team's chances against local rivals Real Madrid in the Champions League. Historically disadvantaged in their matchups, having lost all four prior encounters, Atletico's current strong form provides a fresh opportunity. With a focus on their own strengths, Simeone acknowledges Real's rich Champions League history while emphasizing Atletico's growth. The upcoming match symbolizes more than a rivalry but a chance for Spain to showcase its football talent. Player Julian Alvarez is highlighted as crucial for Atletico's success.
We are facing a rival that we respect. We know our strengths, we play to our full potential and we will try to take the game to a place where we can hurt them.
History exists, and Madrid's history in the Champions League is extraordinary. Tomorrow we will have a new opportunity.
For the city it is spectacular - and for Spain, to be able to have a Spanish team in the quarter-finals. We are going to play, to enjoy it.
