Madrid's "Atletico" strategist Diego Simeone admits that he already knew well in advance that it would not be easy against Piraeus' "Olympiacos".
Yesterday, the UEFA Champions League group stage started, in which "Rojiblancos" suffered a somewhat unexpected defeat with a score of 3-2 against the Greeks, who at their fortress last season also defeated the "Manchester United" club.
"It was a tough game and we already knew that a little earlier. The "Olympiacos" club has excellent chances to compete against us and Turin's "Juventus," - said the Argentine.
"The team attacked well and in the first half we had quite a few chances, but they were still stronger in attack. The "Olympiacos" players managed to take advantage of more opportunities, and things just didn't go well for us," added D. Simeone.
In other matches in Group A, the Turin "Juventus" club defeated "Malmo" with a score of 2-0.
