Simeone: "We will go with a lot of humility and a lot of enthusiasm to play the second leg".
Our coach assessed the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals at the Etihad Stadium.
Diego Pablo Simeone analysed the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad Stadium. Our coach said: "It was a difficult game against an extraordinary team. They have great individuals and great players. In the last 20 games at this ground they had scored 60 goals. We tried to play a tight game to come out on the counter-attack in the first half. They didn't shoot on goal, but we couldn't hurt them. In the second half, when we counter-attacked the most, they scored the goal. They won 1-0 and we will go into the second leg with a lot of humility and a lot of enthusiasm.
In addition, the Argentinian coach said of the second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano next Wednesday: "You always have to look for something that will take you a step further. They play the same way at home or away and are possibly the best team in the world. With humility we will compete as far as we can".
