Quotes
"The work of the boys who came in was very good, they gave us an offensive aggressiveness that was crucial to guide us to the win," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after his side's win over Leganes.
"[Giuliano Simeone] has been training in that position lately and doing really well. In Argentina, he also trained in the right sector, and we are seeing a lot to improve.
"But what I really appreciate is the hunger and enthusiasm that he transmits. In the second half, I think we had a bit more space to explore the back of their defence and the boys deserve this prize for their work. We hope they give us more things."
Head-to-Head
Atletico secured a 2-1 win over Betis in their last meeting in La Liga in a match played at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on 3 March.
Therefore, the Mattress Makers are enjoying a 10-match unbeaten run in the league against Los Verdiblancos having registered two draws and eight wins.
