Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone urged calm after defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

Atletico's nightmare week ended in yet more misery following their 2-0 loss against Athletic Club at San Mames on Saturday evening,.

In midweek they were eliminated from the Champions League after a 3-0 loss against Juventus in Turin, courtesy of a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick.

However, he was insistent that this is still not his worst week in charge of the club and wants it to be a learning curve for Los Rojiblancos.

"This isn't the worst week [in my reign]," he explained.

"The worst was when we lost the Champions League final on penalties in Milan.

"We are used to constantly fighting and competing. This is a time to observe, watch and grow.

"In the league, we're in a good position after seven good months and intend to stay there."
