Champions League: ‘I have full confidence in my team,’ says Simeone as Atletico face Porto in must-win clash

Firstpost  

Defeat would see Atletico Madrid miss out on the knockout stage for only the second time during Diego Simeone’s near decade-long tenure. Madrid: Diego Simeone says he backs his Atletico Madrid players to prevail in their must-win final Champions League group match with Porto on Tuesday. “Porto are a team who I like a lot and who go into the last round favourites because they have more points than either ourselves or Milan.” Atletico’s Spanish international midfielder Marcos Llorente said the team were used to facing tight situations like the one confronting them. “These are the sort of matches every footballer enjoys playing.” Simeone said Uruguayan central defender Jose Maria Gimenez will miss the game through injury, but Belgian international Yannick Carrasco is once again available for selection.
