The Atlético coach valued the importance of the three points achieved in Valencia and assured that looking at the table, “we cannot relax, not even for a day”.

Indisputable triumph for Atlético de Madrid at Mestalla against a Valencia that made it hard, but couldn’t break the League’s best defence. Giant step of the leader.

Our family is celebrating this Saturday 26th of April. On this day, 111 years ago, a group of Basque students founded the Athletic Club de Madrid. Since then, thrilling and glorious evenings have been lived, and will be so in the future.

The Atlético coach called all of the team’s forces, 22 players, to travel to Valencia and play a new League final on Sunday.

The Argentinian coach highlighted the importance of Sunday’s match and doesn’t believe that Valencia will be thinking about their European commitment instead of the fixture against our team. He also expressed his condolences for the death of Tito Vilanova.

Tito Vilanova, the former coach of FC Barcelona, has passed away this Friday evening. The Atlético de Madrid Club offers their most sincere condolences to the family.

The Atlético appeared before the media in the days prior to the match against Valencia. Sosa highlighted the support they receive from the fans and thanks the effort people make to travel with the team outside of the Vicente Calderón.

Several Atlético de Madrid players went by the mixed zone at the end of the Champions League semifinals’ first leg played at the Vicente Calderón.

Diego Pablo Simeone saw “a semifinals classic match” with both teams “searching for their objectives” with their type of game. The second leg will be hard, although playing in an atmosphere such as Stamford Bridge generates “enthusiasm” in the team.

Atlético and Chelsea played a scoreless draw in the UEFA Champions League semifinals’ first leg match. Simeone’s team attacked during the entire match but the goal didn’t come, so everything will be decided on Wednesday 30th in Stamford Bridge.
