Simeone: "It's important for us to win these big games"

Our coach spoke to the press about our upcoming must-win match against Chelsea.

 After Filipe Luis spoke to the press, Diego Pablo Simeone answered questions about our upcoming match against Chelsea.

"We need to think about our game and we need to try and win tomorrow," Simeone said.

Chelsea are top of the group and Simeone believes that will motivate the Atlético players.

"We have to show our level in tomorrow's game. We're going to play against a team that's deservedly top of the group," he said. "We have to play well and seize control of the match."

Advancing to the knockout rounds of the Champions League is going to be difficult, but Simeone knows what needs to be done against Chelsea.

"It's important for us to win these big games."
