Before the first Champions League knockout match, Madrid's Atlético coach Diego Simeone showed a lot of respect for his upcoming opponents Tottenham, who are fighting for survival in the Premier League, despite their excellent form in Europe.

"Are we the favorites? I don’t think so. They finished fourth in the league table, and we had to play an extra knockout round. We are definitely not the favorites.

We have to understand that football is a game, and when you face a team like Tottenham, you have to show respect,” shared the long-time coach of the Madrid team at the press conference.
