How Simeone Faces Hardest Moment Of His Career
After Atletico Madrid‘s elimination from the Champions League group stage, Diego Simeone acknowledges that it is his “hardest moment,” but he has no intentions of leaving the team.
As a result of Bayer Leverkusen holding Atletico Madrid to a 2-2 draw on Wednesday, Atletico Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League. Yannick Carrasco missed a crucial penalty in sudden death. Simeone has promised that despite the extremely challenging circumstances, he will remain in his post at the club and return in the following edition with renewed vigor to win the championship.
“It’s the hardest moment but I’m going to continue insisting on this club to get something we need, such as the Champions League,” he said to reporters after the match.

Atletico has only failed to advance to the knockout stages of the top continental competition twice in the past ten years. The Argentine manager has won every major honor during his time in the Spanish city, including La Liga and the Copa del Rey, but this trophy still eludes him.
They will now turn their attention to La Liga, where they will face off against Cadiz away from home, after a terrible night in the Champions League.
