Madrid revenge no factor for Simeone

Diego Simeone insists revenge would be no factor if Atletico Madrid faced Real in the Champions League final.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone would be unwilling to use revenge as motivation if his side faces Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

Simeone's side booked its place in the decider in Milan on May 28 despite a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the second leg on Tuesday.

Atletico faces Manchester City or Real Madrid in the final, with the city rival having beaten his side 4-1 in the 2014 decider. Despite that, Simeone said he would happily face Zinedine Zidane's men, who are locked at 0-0 ahead of their second leg with City on Wednesday.
