Simeone proud of Atletico despite end of title dreams

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone refused to blame the hangover from reaching the Champions League final for Sunday's defeat to Levante.

Diego Simeone remains proud of Atletico Madrid's achievements this season after the club's Liga title dreams came to an abrupt end on Sunday following a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Levante.

Atletico consequently dropped to third place in the table and can no longer catch Barcelona on the last day as it sits three points behind Luis Enrique's men with an inferior head-to-head record.

Nevertheless, Simeone - who served the second game of his three-match touchline ban - preferred to look at the positives of his side's season.
