Diego Godín scored the tying goal at Camp Nou that won the League title to an Atlético de Madrid that was the fair champion, 18 years later.

Diego Pablo Simeone, Atlético’s coach, on a statement made to Canal Plus after the game, spoke about what this League title means and what the team had to suffer since the beginning.

Simeone’s team won the League after an epic fixture at the Camp Nou. The Atléticos overcame the injuries of Diego Costa and Arda in the first half with teamwork and sacrifice.

The Atletico players retired injured in the first half after suffering a muscle injury in Diego’s case and an iliac crest trauma in Arda Turan’s.

Simeone has decided to move all of the team to Barcelona. After the last training, Atlético’s coach provided the squad list, and as he’s done before with important trips this season, everybody goes.

Atletico’s coach stressed before the media that the feelings of the team are great. He predicts a hard match where they’ll have to maximise their strengths.

The Brazilian midfield bets on being intense at the match that decides the League title at Camp Nou. He claims they’re working hard this week and that they’ll get there in top shape.

Juanfran, Koke, Villa, Diego Costa, Godín, Giménez, C.Rodríguez, Courtois, Alderweireld and Sosa were chosen by their respective national coaches in the preliminary lists for the World Cup.

Atlético’s coach highlighted his team’s effort at the press conference. He emphasised how difficult it is to win the League title and that they’re in that position due to their own merits.

A tie after Málaga’s visit, in a fixture where Simeone’s team gave their all to win the game. Samu put Málaga ahead in the first half and Alderweireld tied.
