Diego Pablo Simeone acknowledged to the media that this Wednesday’s friendly will be a good way to continue our League preparation. "Galatasaray has always been a serious challenger in Turkey, with lots of history and passionate fans. So tomorrow we’ll be on our way to prepare the League in the best possible way, it’s a nice test to see how we’ve grown. And it will be good for us football-wise", he said.

I hope that people tomorrow will see a good match and can enjoy it

Like Arda Turan, Simeone was happy to help the Turkish people after the mining disaster that happened in Soma. "We’re pleased to be able to participate in tomorrow’s match, hopefully we can help in some way. And a good match is played so people can enjoy it", he commented.
