Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says Manu Sanchez deserved his debut in victory over Osasuna.

Sanchez did well, which pleased his boss.

"I loved him," he said.

"It's not easy. He's young, growing and has been working a lot with us.

"He has to keep growing and today was an important moment for his career.

"Today Juanfran said goodbye and another debuted, someone new was born."
