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, Atletico Madrid's head coach, has stated that his team has significant work to accomplish before reaching the Champions League final at their own Metropolitano Stadium. The uncertainty surrounding forward Julian Alvarez's future has disrupted Simeone's preparations for the new season. Atletico suffered a 3-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao, falling five points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona after only four games.
The Argentine coach remains optimistic, emphasizing that Atletico is a team in progress and will improve as they gain rhythm. Simeone is confident in Alvarez's potential, despite the player's slow start and lack of starts this season. The coach also stressed the importance of concentration for his team, drawing from Atletico's previous loss to Liverpool at Anfield.
