Champions League: Simeone claims Atletico Madrid will “suffer” away to Juventus

Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone, has said his team will “suffer” in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie against Juventus.

The LaLiga side pulled off a 2-0 win over Juve on Wednesday night at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Atletico sealed victory, thanks to second-half goals from centre-backs Jose Maria Gimenez and Diego Godin.

Atletico have never lost a knockout tie in eight years under Simeone after winning the first leg, but the Argentine told his post-match news conference that nobody was talking about the quarter-finals just yet.

“The tie is not over yet, there is still a game to play.

“For sure we will have to suffer against a great opponent, with great players.

“We played a very strong game as a team, could take the play to where we feel most comfortable. As the minutes passed we felt stronger, were making chances, and took two to get the victory against a very strong opponent.

“For sure we will have to suffer in Turin,” Simeone said.
