Press Conferences
Ediz Terzic on the second leg. He said:
“They were very disciplinary last week and lurked and forced us to make mistakes. We took three things with us: The result, we have everything in our own hands. We know how difficult it is against Atletico when you do the things they like.”
“But we also know what it takes to invest in order to beat them. Atletico can dominate, play counter-attack and are very experienced in knockout matches. We had a lot of players on the pitch who were experiencing that for the first time. We want to do better tomorrow.”
Diego Simeone went onto say:
"We played with a good pressure, we stole the ball, we forced the opposing team almost in the first half not to have goal situations in the game,"
"Now we'll go to their stadium knowing that we're going to find a strong team, a team with a lot of people who are going to take it to us, to attack. We will have to suffer and take advantage of the spaces.
