Ancelotti says Atletico are worst team for Real Madrid to face

Carlo Ancelotti believes Atletico are the worst opponents for Real Madrid to face in the Champions League final.

They have won just one in 10 games against Diego Simeone's side.

“I think they are playing the worst team they could play because Atletico are a really, really tough team. They are team that concede nothing, not one opportunity. Every final is tough," Ancelotti told Goal.

Of the Argentine coach, whom he beat in the 2014 Champions League final while managing Real Madrid, he added:  “I knew Simeone as a player.

"He was a tough player, really concentrated, and it’s the same as a manager. I think he’s really focused on the little details, so he was able to build a defensive organisation. Also, he has a really fantastic relationship with his players."
