Diego Simeone hoping destiny will take Atletico to Euro triumph
Diego Simeone hopes that "destiny" will finally guide Atletico Madrid to the Champions League trophy.
The Argentine coach spoke after his side reached the final after losing 2-1 to Bayern Munich in Germany, but progressing on away goals after the 2-2 draw on aggregate.
"I hope that destiny will help us this time too," he explained.
"But overall I am proud of what is happening to this club. We've shown continually that we can beat the best clubs in the world and over the course of this tie we have shown how well we've done to reach this stage. I hope that destiny will eventually help us in the final.
"I am proud of what is happening to the club. We are beating the best teams in the world and I think that over the course of 180 minutes we showed the work of three years."
Of the chance to play Real Madrid in the final and gain vengance for the 2014 defeat in the last game of the competition, Simeone added: "In life there is no revenge, there are new opportunities."
