"We did many good things in away games; I'd say that to be where we've been these past 14 years, we must have won away games... For me, it all comes down to decisiveness. The team is playing well. Against [Real] Betis, we scored early. Against Getafe, we had chances and didn't take them, and we were under pressure until the 80th minute. Teams struggle away from home."
"The results haven't been as positive as we would have liked."
Atletico Madrid have lost their last two LaLiga away matches to Athletic Club and Barcelona and have been beaten in both Champions League away fixtures by Liverpool and Arsenal. Thirteen of Atletico's last 17 Champions League wins have been at home, and the club has a six-game home winning streak in the competition while losing their last three away. The team sits 12th in the Champions League table on nine points, one behind eighth-placed Sporting CP before the final round. Recent European results include wins over Union Saint-Gilloise and Inter. Atletico remain unbeaten in six meetings with PSV (W4 D2). Decisiveness in front of goal has been lacking, with missed chances away from home contributing to pressure late in matches.
