Diego Simeone will motivate Atletico Madrid against Leicester by recalling Champions League final defeats: 'Every time the hymn plays I'm in pain'

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says the pain of twice losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League final will be his side’s greatest motivation against Leicester.

The Argentinian manager has taken the club to two Champions League finals in the last three years but both have ended in defeat to neighbours Real Madrid, including last season in Milan.

And Simeone will use that to inspire himself and his players when they take on Leicester.
