Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone reacted to Barcelona's scare before UEFA after the first quarter-final match of the Champions League.

We remember that last month the Catalans at their home stadium gave up the mattresses with a score of 0:2, after which they showed official dissatisfaction with the work of the Romanian referee Ishtaan Kovac.

At the hour of the press conference ahead of Saturday's La Liga match against Seville, the Argentine Fajive reacted quite calmly to the action of the super teams.

" For those who understand, everything is even simpler, and it doesn’t affect us at all,” Simeone told journalists.

The coach also clarified his words to make it clearer: “I’m going to say that I’m on the side of Real Madrid? I'm not being stingy. I simply responded to the comment from Barcelona and said that in Madrid they have already heard such speeches,” adding.

Atletico's contagion is focused on the championship match against Seville. The Madrid team is fourth in the tournament table (57 points), while the Andalusians are fighting for survival, sitting in 17th place (31 points).

Simeone recognized that the crisis of a rival is a complex topic, and warmly praised the club from Seville, which played an important role in their career and life, wanting to say that on the Atletico field we are going to win.

Due to the personnel situation in this important game, Jan Oblak will not be able to play. The main goalkeeper will miss the next few matches, so Simeone wants to rely on the reserve goalkeepers both in the championship match and in the second round, during the match of the Champions League quarterfinals against.
