Diego Simeone is eagerly awaiting the UEFA Champions League match against the "Liverpool" team. Tonight, the teams will face off in the first leg match at the "Wanda Metropolitano" stadium. The obvious favorite of the match is considered to be the "Liverpool" club, however, D. Simeone is satisfied that his team is labeled as the underdog. "I have nothing against what people say. Everyone has an opinion, but anything can happen during the match. We are not in a pessimistic situation, we are an optimistic and highly motivated group. The stadium will be packed, and our players have enough quality to achieve something," - said D. Simeone in a pre-match press conference. Speaking about Jurgen Klopp's work at the "Liverpool" club, D. Simeone did not hesitate to praise: "I remember him coaching 'Borussia' and now I see something similar with 'Liverpool'. "This 'Liverpool' team will go down in history. I really like this team, it is very consistent, but I admire them a lot," - added the strategist. Diego Costa will be able to help the "Atletico" team in this match, but Joao Felix has still not made it into the team lineup.
