Meeting Highlights…ATLETICO
They are a great team. They have been competing at a high level for many years. They always play their best because of their competitive nature. Not having two or three players is not going to influence them. They are the most reliable in recent years.
…LACK OF WIN
It is the first time that we have all the players available, removing the seriously injured ones. We have the entire team at our disposal. I hope to strike tomorrow. At any time we are capable of winning, against any rival. This Saturday we are going to be in a game. Surely one day it will fall into favour. Victory has to lead, but we must continue in this line of work.
…WINTER SIGNINGS
Viera lasted 60 minutes in Granada. The idea is to give it continuity in these next games. He will always get better, day by day. The player will be able to improve his performance in the following weeks. We were looking for a strong left-footed centre back with Radovanovic and he has already shown that it was a success. I'm happy with Luka, tomorrow you'll see. He is a player who is going to give us a lot.

Diego Simeone
Manager on Atlético Madrid…GRIEZMANN
I don't regret what happened, it's unfortunate. We are not going to force him at all, we need the best version of him. We'll wait him to achieve his best once again.
…GIMENEZ
It has always been important for us. I hope he recovers as soon as possible. We need him.
…ALMERIA
I only look at the last games, and it is a team that is showing hunger and desire to compete. It won't be easy to win in their stadium.
