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.
