Trippier hails Atletico's winning spirit in second outing since Tottenham departure

Kieran Trippier praised Atletico Madrid's "unbelievable" mentality after making his second appearance for the club following his transfer from Tottenham.

The right-back featured in Diego Simeone's starting line-up as Atletico beat Chivas on penalties after a goalless draw in the International Champions Cup in Texas on Tuesday.

Trippier spent four seasons at Tottenham and helped the club reach the 2018-19 Champions League final before making a reported €22 million ($25m, £20m) switch to Wanda Metropolitano.

Atletico's task against Chivas was made tougher by Marcos Llorente's 24th-minute dismissal, but Trippier was proud of their response.
