Reaction from Atletico manager, Diego Simeone, after Atletico Madrid knocked out Bayern Munich to reach the final of the Champions League in Munich on Tuesday (3rd May).

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

"Thank you very much for the congratulations. I really have to say we played against the most difficult opponent, especially in the first half. They are really good in challenges, speed, with the ball - the best I've seen in my career…It's really a great spectacle and to see how they play, with continuous intensity. I'm really in love with this game. We tried our best to take off the pressure and after they didn't score in the penalty we had a good chat during halftime and we won the clash. We coped with the pressure and we fought. We decided we could have made more danger in counter attacks and score more goals. I believe our waiting, defensive game worked.
