Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in the press room at the end of the game. The Argentinian analysed the match: "In the first half, both teams played in two different ways, each respecting their own structure of the game. In the first half, we created four very clear goal situations. The goalkeeper played a very good first half. In the second half, I think that the value of the win was in always maintaining the will and initiative to win the game. This speaks very well of the group and the team."

Lastly, he assessed the year 2015, which ends this Thursday: "An important year for the club is ending. We have reached the goal, which was to be in the Champions League. Obviously, we now have a good expectation in this first round. This makes the Club and the fans happy."
