Atletico Madrid manager Diego Pablo Simeone spoke before the Champions League final against Real Madrid, that will be played tomorrow night in Milan:
Atletico will face Real Madrid in San Siro tomorrow night, in the replay of the final they played two years ago in Lisbon, that the Blancos won for 4-1 at extra time, after Sergio Ramos equalised Diego Godin's goal in the injury time.
Asked if Atletico had more pressure for this reason, Simeone replied:
"I am really glad to have 113 years of history on my back, really really glad."
And course on the chance to win the most prestigious trophy for clubs he said:
"Only winning makes me happy. I expect a very intense match at the start and very balanced."
Simeone also revealed that Chelsea striker Diego Costa congratulated his ex team, Atletico, to reach the final:
"He hasn't send me a message yet for this game, but yes he did after the Spanish side went through the quarter finals with Barcelona and with Bayern Munich in the semifinal. I am sure that him and other guys that are not in this club anymore or that got good feelings for us will watch the game with our shirt on tomorrow."
