Simeone: Atletico Madrid cannot be satisfied with winning third in La Liga, my wish is to win the Champions League

June 14 Atletico Madrid coach Simeone said in an interview with DAZN that he will not be satisfied with winning the third place in La Liga next season, and he also revealed that he wants to win the Champions League.

In the 2024-25 season, Atletico Madrid won third place in La Liga. What results do you expect in the future?

I keep telling the players that what we need to do is not only win the league championship, but also leave a legacy for future generations. If we want to get more, it is not enough to just get third in La Liga.

You have coached at Atletico Madrid for a long time and have left many memories

We have done a lot of work, and many people have put in their efforts to work, and some of their colleagues are no longer here, such as Ortega and Burgos... For them, we must also leave a legacy for future generations.

What is your biggest wish?

What I am missing, you all know very well. There is no doubt that it is to win the Champions League, and we don’t need to hide this.

Griezmann has renewed his contract with Atletico Madrid until 2027

He is not only an outstanding player, but also definitely a legend of the club. After three or four months, he realized that he had made a mistake and that people made him feel it, and it was not easy. But as I often say, goals can heal everything, and he has managed to reconcile with the fans through hard work and goals. People are friendly, they long for victory, and he is a real genius.

Your son Giuliano Simeone is also playing at Atletico Madrid. I never thought he would be here, thanks to himself, because of his way of working and his level of commitment. From the moment he entered the team's locker room, I treated him like any other player. He has something that is not obtained through training, such as the soul, the mind, the desire to keep improving.

Previously, Atletico Madrid fans voted to restore the old team logo to the best thing the club did is to get close to the fans. For many people, there is no room for negotiation for the team logo.
