Atletico Madrid on Friday (26th August) prepared for their league match against Leganes

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

(on the Champions League draw)

"The Champions League is always complicated and complex and every team is important. It is clear that Bayern, PSV and Rostov, the teams we will face, are all difficult, but no less difficult than any other team we could have faced. I like the teams we have to face. I like them because we are a team who respond better to difficulties, tension and complicated teams. I wish it will keep happening that way."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

(on Leganes)

"They are a very enthusiastic team playing at home, back in the top division. It is wonderful for them and their fans. But it will be a match in which we need to make it well from the beginning in order to make it ours."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

(on Cristiano Ronaldo's award as the best player in Europe)

"Those who win always deserve it. Congratulations to Ronaldo. Once again the group has strengthened the individual abilities. Probably having won the Champions League and having won the Euros have helped to put him in that place. But in my opinion, the best, absolutely, was (Antoine) Griezmann."
