Atletico Madrid’s defeat by Sevilla could relaunch the title fight in the Spanish League, however, Diego Simeone assures that he is not afraid to face Real Madrid and Barcelona for the trophy.
«The Spanish championship is always tough until the end, whether in the fight for permanence, for the Europa League or for the title. It is usually between two teams. We are in the fight, now with some irregularity and, as a technical team, we have to find the way for the players to show up to the level they had during the season », said the coach at the end of the match.
«I don’t feel nervous in the team. We have to play better and find our best version. (…) I don’t know how they expect me to find myself after a defeat … I know what I want, I know the way and I’m not afraid of anything », reinforced the Argentine.
With nine games to go, Atlético Madrid leads the Spanish league with 66 points, three more than Real Madrid and four more than Barcelona, who have less than one game.
