Atletico Madrid boss, Diego Simeone has reacted to his side’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday.
Hakim Ziyech’s first half strike and Emerson Palmieri late effort secured a 3-0 aggregate win for the Blues over the La Liga leaders at Stamford Bridge.
The reversed fixture in Spain ended 1-0 in favour of the Blues who have now booked their place in the quarter finals ahead Friday’s draw.
Simeone congratulated Thomas Tuchel’s men, adding that Atletico Madrid’s effort to attack the Blues yielded no result.
“We tried to go and press them, but they were able to get out of it, and we could not keep up with them,” the Argentine told BT Sport.
“You have to congratulate your opponents when they are the better team. We tried to press them up the field, worked hard. We couldn’t attack the way we like.
“It has been a tough campaign, lets not forget our trips to Russia and Germany, it has been really tough. The reality is we need to keep improving, we have a promising future ahead of us.”
