Football: Winning is the only choice to continue in the UCL says Simeone ahead of RB Leipzig quarter-final

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone spoke to media ahead of their quarter-finals of the Champions League against RB Leipzig. A victory against Leipzig on Thursday will put Atletico back in the semifinals for the first time since it was eliminated by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Madrid in the last four in 2017. Ronaldo and Madrid had defeated Atlético in the final in 2014 and 2016, and also ended the rival’s run in the quarterfinals in 2015. Even when things went wrong and the squad was hit by COVID-19, Atlético avoided the worst as only two players were infected and it could still make the trip to Portugal. Leipzig eliminated Tottenham in the round of 16, but now it won't count on top scorer Timo Werner, who didn't extend his contract by a few weeks to finish the season with the German club before moving to Chelsea. Atlético stunned defending European champions Liverpool in the last 16, advancing after a 3-2 win in England.
