Diego Simeone: 'Atletico Madrid focusing on PSV Eindhoven'

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has insisted that his team are only focusing on beating PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday night rather than looking ahead to another possible final.

Simeone has led the capital outfit into two of the last three Champions League finals, but they have been beaten by rivals Real Madrid on both occasions.

Ahead of their first group match of this season's competition, the Argentine has said that his team will take the European Cup on a game-by-game basis as they look to make another challenge for the crown.

"Are we capable of winning the Champions League? We're capable of winning tomorrow. Thinking about anything more would not be humble," Simeone told reporters.

"Everyone needs to win to improve confidence. In Vigo, in the second half [of the 4-0 win against Celta], the team freed themselves. It's a beautiful pitch, a fantastic atmosphere - a good place to start. The goals were important six months ago, but tomorrow it's the points.

"The two teams are better than they were 15 days ago. PSV are a great team, especially on the break. They played in two different ways last year. Nobody can say that, if we win tomorrow, we go through. We lost the first game two seasons ago and then we were top of the group."

Atletico will enter Tuesday's match off the back of a 4-0 victory over Celta Vigo in La Liga at the weekend.
