Atletico Madrid coach Simeone upbeat after Granada draw

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was upbeat after their 1-1 draw with Granada.

Renan Lodi's first goal since signing for the Spanish giants was cancelled out in the 67th minute by a Granada equaliser, yet the visitors dominated overall.

"This was our best performance of those away from home and also possibly of those at home too," Simeone explained after the match.

"We were very consistent, especially in the first 30 minutes.

"Granada didn't get close to our penalty area.

"We played a quite complete match, but we had a careless moment in the goal we conceded.

"But the team didn't give up."
