A lot of emotions: “is a match we will play respectfully against a great opponent. I feel they respect us as much. If it were a team from another championship, we wouldn't talk about those things, but it's a denby and it's normal to talk about it”.

Simeone describes this confrontation as a major moment for the city of Madrid and Spanish football: “For the city is spectacular. For Spain, having a Spanish team in the quarterfinals is beautiful. Us playing games, we should enjoy this moment, because it's very important”.

Asked about his feelings before this big confrontation, Simeon said: “I am very excited, as on my first day at Atletico Madrid. I have the same desire as when I arrived, to take this club to important levels, respecting its values and history. These are moments to be tasted”.

Real Madrid is the most successful club in the history of the League Champions League, and Simeon acknowledges the importance of this confrontation: “History is there, Real Madrid's in the Champions League is extraordinary. We have a new opportunity to write important pages in our” book.

Atletico Madrid is fighting for the title in La League, but the Argentine coach has set the focus entirely on Tuesday's game: “I'll appreciate everything, but I can't think about La League now, because there are still too many games to play. I'm focused only on the next fight, like always”.

Athletico Madrid wants to surprise you in this confrontation and break the Real Eminance of the Champions League.
