Lokomotiv Moscow coach Yuri Semin is backing Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League.

Loko fell 2-0 at home to Atletico last night.

And Semin admits he was impressed: "This Atlético is a younger, rejuvenated team, but they still have the same style.

"They are one of the leaders of LaLiga and hopefully they can win the Champions League.

"It is a strong candidate, it is what I want, congratulations and luck."

He also said of Atleti whiz João Félix: "He is the future of Atlético, has played with a control, pace and created great problems."
