Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has defended his team’s playing style ahead of the UEFA Champions League final against rivals Real Madrid, comparing his team to a Peugeot and others to a Ferrari and stating he has to work within his means.
The Rojiblancos were criticised for their tactics in the 2-1 loss against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the semi-finals, which saw the team advance on an aggregate score of 2-2.
Atletico played defensively in that match, but when asked about the criticism, Simeone said he has to take into account the talent at his disposal, per AS (h/t Football Espana, via Eurosport):
There are a lot of ways to play well.
