Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone, has insisted that his team can overturn their three-goal deficit, in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Simeone says the task might be impossible for others, but not for his side.
“On Wednesday we have a very difficult game. For some impossible, but not for us,” Simeone said on Saturday, after Atletico secured a top-four finish in La Liga for a fifth straight season, with a 1-0 win over Eibar on Saturday.
“I’ve told the players it is very difficult, that we are facing the best team in the world, who score goals in every game, but that it is possible.
“I am convinced of it. If I wasn’t I wouldn’t say it. If we are united and understand that it is a semi-final at home we have a chance.”
Wednesday’s clash is likely to be Atletico’s final European game at the Vicente Calderon, as they prepare to move to the new 67,000-capacity Wanda Metropolitano next season.
