Atletico Madrid coach Simeone ahead of Juventus showdown: Enough talk!

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says there won't be any underestimating Juventus in tonight's Champions League clash.

Atletico are in Turin defending a 2-0 aggregate lead.

But Simone says: “I think whenever it's a knockout round like this between two such important clubs, both treat it like two halves of one match.

“The first leg is one moment, the second leg is another. Everyone tries to prepare and organise, but football is about details that cannot be explained or predicted and that's what makes this sport fantastic. We can talk about it as much as we like, but it won't make much difference.

“As I said, these are two strong teams, one will go through and the other won't. It's hard to talk about there being favourites."
