Script:

SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Tiago Mendes, Atletico Madrid (Asked about the first game against Olympiacos)

"The most important thing is that we lost. When we lose a game it means we have done something wrong and I hope tomorrow we can prove that we have improved, we have surpassed ourselves and we have learnt from that match. That match put a lot of pressure on us because it was the first match of the group and it made us play the following matches as if they were all finals. Tomorrow it will be one more final."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach

"The most important thing is our performance at the beginning of the match. We need to make a good interpretation of the characteristics of our rival, which are very good, that is why they are so competitive in this competition that it is still so open. In my opinion, everything is still very open, and that will cause a very tense game. To get the result we want depends very much on the intensity and the speed we get tomorrow."
