“It will be the same as the past three seasons,” he said. “This year Atletico Madrid will be very strong, they are going to be a big threat to Barcelona and Real Madrid.
“Simeone is a manager who knows how to get the best out of his players, so matching up to them on the pitch will be very difficult.
