Simeone: Atletico have four finals after Villarreal loss

Diego Simeone said Atletico Madrid have four
finals in their pursuit of Champions League
qualification after going down to Villarreal.
Atletico suffered a rare home defeat, stunned 1-0
by visiting Villarreal at the Vicente Calderon on
Tuesday.
Roberto Soriano broke the deadlock in the 82nd
minute as Atletico's 11-match unbeaten run in all
competitions came to an end after Andres
Fernandez made a series of saves to deny Antoine
Griezmann, Nico Gaitan and Angel Correa.
The loss left third-placed Atletico just three points
ahead of Sevilla, who have a game in hand and
head coach Simeone said: "We have to wait for
future results we do not have to rush.
"We are in four finals and we will see what
happens."
He continued: "I'm going with the sensations of
football, football is this, a lot of times we win like
that, it's part of the game. The ball did not want to
go in.
"We were not fine for the last pass, they took
advantage of the situation they had."
Of Villarreal, Simeone added: "We've had three or
four games at Calderon that we do not give them
goals and it also costs us, it's a team that are
prepared to fight for the top positions.
"We've had chances in every game, we've won
against a team that plays very well on the
defensive side."
While Atletico struggled in front of goal, Simeone
denied his team missed a forward like former star
Diego Costa - now at Chelsea.
"I could answer so many things and I have so
much respect for the question that I'm going to say
no," the Argentine boss said.
