He also said that the opposing team was superior to the defensive and attacking aspects of their team.

They (Real Madrid) have to admit that they (Real Madrid) are quite special as a team, a unit. Quality struggles are difficult to find their weaknesses," praised the Argentine coach nicknamed El Cholo as quoted by Football Espana.

Furthermore, Simeone said the brilliant performance of last season's Champions League champions could not be separated from the hard work of the coach, Carlo Ancelotti.

"It can make the team bring a good match, it's also a great job from coach Madrid (Carlo Ancelotti). So I don't doubt his greatness," explained Simeone.
