Las Palmas struck twice late on to beat the capital club 3-2, but the coach was not bothered as his side still progressed in the Copa del Rey
Diego Simeone said Atletico Madrid's progression to the Copa del Rey quarter-finals outweighed Tuesday's second-leg defeat to Las Palmas.
Las Palmas rallied late to win 3-2 in the return fixture at Vicente Calderon as Atletico narrowly advanced 4-3 on aggregate.
Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa struck in the second half to put Atletico in control following their 2-0 win at Las Palmas in the opening leg but lapses in concentration saw the Madrid club concede twice inside the final minutes.
