Meeting Highlights...ABOUT THE MATCH
They were very disciplinary last week and lurked and forced us to make mistakes. We took three things with us: The result, we have everything in our own hands. We know how difficult it is against Atletico when you do the things they like. But we also know what it takes to invest in order to beat them. Atletico can dominate, play counter-attack and are very experienced in knockout matches. We had a lot of players on the pitch who were experiencing that for the first time. We want to do better tomorrow.
...INJURIES
Haller has unfortunately injured his ankle again. We assume that he will definitely not be available for the next 2-3 weeks. We hope that Jamie will be able to join us on the pitch straight away. Jadon is fit again.
...REUS PLAYTIME
We had Jule in that position. The dynamics of the game brought other changes. That was tough for Marco, we also spoke to each other. He doesn’t have to accept my decisions, just respect them and can then show me that I was wrong.

Diego Simeone
Manager on Atlético Madrid…ABOUT THE MATCH
We are going to face a team that is very strong at home, which will surely start at a high pace. We have to continue maintaining the level shown in the last games. The team is confident, they are doing well and I am sure it will be a good game tomorrow. The club is working very well. We have all grown after the important results we have obtained. You have to play and not think so much, I feel good about the players and tomorrow will be a good Champions League night.
…B. DORTMUND
Tomorrow the important thing is everything. Whoever best interprets everything that can happen on the field will surely be in the next phase. They showed last season in the Bundesliga that they are a very strong team. They have very dangerous players in attack.
…INJURY REPORT
Mario Hermoso came back very well the other day, he played 90 minutes and he is a very important player for us. César Azpilicueta is a special player, he has different things, he understands the game in the best way and can play anywhere in the defensive zone. And we have Riquelme with his cheekiness and youth that we also need. Two of the three are going to play, tomorrow we will see.
