Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone claimed his side were "exceptional" during their 2-0 Champions League victory over Galatasaray.
Diego Simeone praised his "exceptional" Atletico Madrid side after its 2-0 Champions League victory over Galatasaray in Istanbul.
Antoine Griezmann's double early in the first half put Atletico well in control of the Group C clash and though substitute Umut Bulut did threaten for Gala on occasions, the Liga side was well worthy of the points.
"We played remarkable football in the first half, we were exceptional," said Simeone, who also had special acclaim for strike duo Griezmann and Jackson Martinez.
