Played Draw Against Club Brugge, Simeone Is Satisfied

DBasia.news – Atletico Madrid failed to conclude the last match of Champions League with a victory. Against the host Club Brugge, they just played draw 0-0. However, coach Diego Simeone is glad about the result.

The Spanish club actually have secured the ticket to the knockout round. However, Simeone sent his best squad in the match to Brugge. But, his team failed to achieve the full point and stay in the second position of Group A.

“I’m happy because we’ve reached the last 16 and that’s very important for the club. The club needed to be in the last 16, so we have to be happy about that. Now we have to wait and see who we get and keep trying to improve,” Simeone said.

“It was a good game from us. We were the better team in the first half and had chances to score. The second was more even, but I leave here with the peace of mind that that the lads gave everything and only lacked the precision to score a goal. I’m happy with how we played and only lacked precision,” he added.

Atletico’s drop position to the second place in Group A was related to the victory of Borussia Dortmund against AS Monaco. Antoine Griezmann and friends just scored less goal than the Germany representative.
