Atletico Madrid boss Simeone: Leicester tie will be ‘decided on smallest of details’

Published on: 18 April 2017

Diego Simeone is expecting another tight contest when Atletico Madrid meet Leicester City in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The Spanish club edged the reigning Premier League champions 1-0 in the initial quarter-final bout at the Vicente Calderon on Wednesday and Simeone feels it will be a similarly close encounter in the East Midlands.

"Leicester are in decent form and have been very close to getting back to their best in the last six or seven games," Simeone said.

"Our characteristics are very similar, we are not too different in the way we play.

"It'll be a very tight game, the first leg was a narrow result and Tuesday will be no different.

"It will be decided on the smallest of details."
