The Atleti manager was unmoved by criticism of his side following the European exit at the hands of Real Madrid.
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone remains unfazed by criticism of his side's display in last week's narrow UEFA Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
Following a goalless draw in the first leg, Atletico was beaten by a late Javier Hernandez strike at the Santiago Bernabeu and Simeone's approach to the game was called into question.
Despite suggestions of an overly defensive display, Simeone brushed off the negative comments, saying it was par for the course following Atletico's recent success.
"We were three minutes away from not losing. We lost 1-0," he said.
