Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in the pressroom of San Mamés, after winning a new triumph in the League competition. The Argentinian coach valued the effort of his players: "The dressing room is happy. Exceeding the numbers of last season with four rounds to go is a very important step with the competition that we have with ourselves and our own requirement to continuously improve ourselves.
