Diego Simeone Vows to Turn Atletico Madrid's On-Field Fortunes Around After Fan Unrest

Diego Simeone said he was pleased with the passion shown from his squad after Atletico Madrid scraped a 1-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday and is keen to keep the fans happy.

The Argentine hailed the character and passion showed by his side after a somewhat abject display against the Bundesliga outfit.

Alvaro Morata scored the winner with just over 10 minutes to play, and Simeone suggested that there is always a path to victory, no matter how well his side is playing.

"I feel good when I see passion and today the team had passion," he said, as quoted by Marca.
