It is a joy to be able to enjoy the last season, to put a finishing touch to this great season. I hope we can play a good game. A historic one is coming. They are very competitive and what better way than trying to beat Atlético de Madrid.
I have doubts because I am not one for awards, I am for merits. We are playing to win in front of our fans. But it is true that everyone is earning merit to play, and if they have not played it is because they understood that they had to bet on others, and not because of demerit.
I have been repeating it. There have been other years that after playing in European competition, we were not able to compete in some matches. We arrived with a lot of fatigue. This year I do think we have competed in every game, and there are few teams that can say that.

...ABOUT THE SEASON

Diego Simeone
Manager on Atlético Madrid...MOTIVATION
We have to try to reverse the bad game we played against Osasuna. Also try to close LaLiga well. We were not able, especially in the Copa del Rey, in the Super Cup and in the Champions League, to take the weight of the game. The match with Athletic, Borussia and Madrid... In the important matches of the season, we were not able to generate it.
...ABOUT THE SEASON
I put myself in the place of the objectives and we achieve them. We could have given more, and we were not able to take that step to win something. We were left with that feeling that is divided, because we were close.
...FUTURE
We know what happens this season, I can't say what will happen next season. We have to look, think and look for better things for what is coming.
