Atletico have work to do to reach home Champions League final, says Simeone
Diego Simeone believes his side will improve after a slow start to the season ahead of their opener away to Liverpool.
Diego Simeone believes Atletico Madrid have a long way to go in reaching a Champions League final, despite their home advantage at the Metropolitano Stadium. The uncertainty surrounding star forward Julian Alvarez's future has hindered the team's preparations, but Simeone remains confident in their progress. After a slow start to the season, Atletico lost 3-0 to Athletic Bilbao and currently trails La Liga leaders Barcelona by five points after just four matches.
The Argentine has also benefited from the loan signing of Canadian international Jonathan David. Additionally, Simeone's team had nine players involved in Spain's World Cup final victory just a month before their league season began. Simeone acknowledges the importance of reaching the final at the Metropolitano and noted that his team is improving and finding their rhythm as they welcome Liverpool to Anfield for their Champions League opener.
