Atlético Madrid: Diego Simeone sends a pointed message to Hansi Flick

In a press conference following Atlético Madrid’s qualification for the Copa del Rey final against Barça, Diego Simeone sent a message to Hansi Flick.

Last night, Atlético Madrid faced a real scare in the second leg of the semi-final on the pitch at FC Barcelona (0-3) in the Copa del Rey. The Colchoneros ran into a Barcelona side on fire, as Diego Simeone acknowledged after the match. Despite the Catalans’ 3-0 victory, it’s Atlético Madrid who advanced to the final. Diego Simeone is already hoping for a Champions League rematch with Barça.

"I know what Barça’s players are capable of. Today, Pedri and Raphinha were back, they bring a different tempo, they’re outstanding. I told Hansi Flick that his Barça played brilliantly, that it’s a top-level team. I also told him I hope we meet again in the Champions League quarter-finals," said "El Cholo" in the press conference.
