Quotes
“In football, you always live for today, as in life; what came before, what you enjoyed yourself, what you did... they are just memories," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after his side's win over Mallorca.
"You have to deliver it here and now, it’s the reality of life, the day-to-day. “In the first half we lacked more collective play, in the second half it was different, we competed better in the opposition’s half and after the goal we had our chances to go out with a bigger win.”
“I don’t dwell on results but in the last few games I can see a clear idea. We won a Copa del Rey match at Vic, in La Liga against Las Palmas, at PSG on Wednesday and today once again we gave joy to our fans, which is what it’s all about.”
Head-to-Head
Alaves secured a 2-0 win over Atletico in their last meeting in La Liga with the match taking place at Estadio de Mendizorroza on 21 May.
The win ended the Glorious Ones' two-match winless run in the league against the Mattress Makers who had won two games in a row.
