Diego Simeone after a dramatically drawn match against Turin's "Juventus" praised the team's character. Madrid's "Atletico" hosted the Italian champions in the first UEFA Champions League group stage match at home. The visitors gained a two-goal advantage after a great period in the second half, but "Atletico" still managed to come back into the game and equalize 2-2 in the 90th minute. "In the first half we were missing something, and 'Juventus' played more aggressively after the break," - stated D. Simeone after the match. - "I liked that the team didn't give up and eventually got back into the game." "We always tried to create situations where we could punish 'Juventus'. Gimenez, Vitolo, and Correa were all close to scoring, so the point in this duel is more than deserved. A draw is neither a bad nor a good result. 'Juventus' is a strong and experienced team. If our average age is 24 years, theirs is 29. Experience helps in such matches, but the experience of such matches will also help us in the future. The most important thing is not to lose intensity in the game and show character when it is needed the most," - added Cholo.
