Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is proud of his competitive streak.

Simeone says competition defines him.

“A competitor. There is no doubt about that.

"Right from the day I came back to Atleti, I was filled with the hope that I could take Atlético de Madrid to the place where we almost are today. I still haven't done that, but we will keep insisting and plugging away so that the lads will know that that Pupas nickname we once had is way, way in the past!"
