Diego Simeone has a good record versus Real Madrid, but the Atletico coach is taking nothing for granted in the Champions League final.
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone rates the mouthwatering Champions League final against city rival Real Madrid as "50-50."
Simeone's men saw off two of the tournament favorites in Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals and semifinals, and a repeat of the 2014 showpiece was set when Real Madrid overcame Manchester City on Wednesday to book its place at San Siro.
Two years ago, an injury-time equalizer from Sergio Ramos forced extra time and Madrid went on to win 4-1 to complete La Decima, but in general it is Atletico that has enjoyed the upper hand in the derby.
