The La Liga outfit have lost their last two European finals, but their manager has brushed off talk of exorcising demons against Marseille in Lyon
Diego Simeone has rejected talk of the Europa League final being an opportunity for Atletico Madrid to banish the ghosts of Champions League heartache suffered at the hands of Real Madrid.
Atletico take on Marseille in Wednesday's decider in Lyon , returning to the last stage of a competition they won under Simeone in 2012, having become more accustomed to the Champions League in recent years.
The Rojiblancos were beaten in the final of that tournament by arch rivals Madrid in 2014 and 2016, but Simeone gave little thought to suggestions a Europa League triumph could heal those wounds.
