Real Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre is looking forward to his clash with Atletico Madrid rival Diego Simeone this weekend.

Aguirre feels Simeone has transformed Atletico over the past year.

He said, “The current Atletico Madrid side are different from a year ago. I love Cholo, and how he has turned the team around.

"Cholo defensive? Defensive my a***.

“None of us would put (Samuel) Lino or (Roro) Riquelme as full-backs, or even (Axel) Witsel as a centre-back, yet Cholo has them defending. He is a genius."
