Diego Pablo Simeone was in charge of opening the Media Day at the Wanda Atlético de Madrid Training Complex. Atlético’s coach noted: "Our style is to renew ourselves starting from the characteristics of the players and empowering the football player, which is the most important thing in this game." 
 

The final is fifty-fifty

The Argentinian coach said: "We base our work in 90 minutes of play, knowing that all the minutes have to be of high-quality. Every minute has to mean life for whoever is playing." 

Regarding San Siro, Simeone said: "If there is a setting where football is represented in a special way, it is in Italy. The setting is spectacular. It is an intimate field that puts pressure on you. I’m sure we will hear the people from the stands very loudly." 

As to how he sees the match in Milan, he said: "The final is fifty-fifty. The two teams have the same options. In a one-game match, everyone has options and it’s clear that we want to win."  

"Days go by faster when you work. We are looking for alternatives to reach the match in the best possible way. We want to reach the 28th in the most natural way for a highly expected game," he said.
