Diego Pablo Simeone does not divert from the match-by-match. For the Ciudad de Valencia final he asks for the massive support of the Atlético fans.

Diego Pablo Simeone was happy to reach the Champions final, but was already thinking about Sunday’s date with Levante.

The Atlético forward was very happy after finishing the fixture in London and qualifying for the Champions League final.

Adrián, Diego Costa, with a penalty, and Arda Turan overcome Fernando Torres’ goal to brush Chelsea aside and seal the passport to Lisbon’s final.

Tiago Cardoso Mendes appeared at the press conference with Simeone and Mario Suárez. The Portuguese is confident because he sees his teammates are prepared for this kind of matches.

The home-grown player had a leading role prior to the Champions semifinals second leg assuring that the team has won this opportunity with all their work and they’ll try to make the most of it.

The Atlético coach claimed at the press conference that Chelsea is rival he very much respects and believes the match will be won by the team that works better.

This summer, the first team will tour North America due to the second edition of the EuroAmerican Cup, and will play against the San José Earthquakes and Club América from México on July 27th and 30th respectively.

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.
