The Atlético midfielder acknowledged that the team ran out of steam at the extra time, but that as captain he’s proud of all his teammates’ work.

Simeone highlighted at the microphones of Canal Plus that he’is proud of a team and the fans who gave their all in Lisbon.

Atlético de Madrid didn’t deserve this puishment. 40 years later, second final of the maximum continental competition, and again, a defeat. Godin put us ahead, Ramos equalized in the extra time and Bale, Marcelo and Ronaldo, the latter with a penalty, ended the final.

Diego Pablo Simeone, Atlético de Madrid’s coach, said at the press conference prior to the Champions League final that he’s calm, and if Diego Costa and Arda Turan cannot play, he has the replacement ready.

The captain, along with Raúl García and Tiago, appeared at the press conference prior to the Champions League final, in which they emphasized the unity and the strength of the group.

His name will be on the inside of the shirts’ neck we’ll wear when trying to win our history’s first Champions League.

From the team’s concentration in Los Ángeles de San Rafael prior to the final, the forward from Asturias shared a couple of minutes with the fans who sent their questions through Facebook.

Juanfran Torres highlighted at the press conference that there are no favourites in the final, and that the team’s and the fans’ desire to win the first European Cup is enormous.

The Uruguayan defence, along with Raúl García, Mario Suárez and Filipe Luis appeared in the mixed area to analyse Lisbon’s final.

Diego Pablo Simeone commented at the media open day before the Champions final that winning helps and that his players deserved to celebrate the League. “It’s easier after winning”, he said.
