Simeone: "It wasn't as easy as the final score might suggest"
"Objective? there isn't one, only winning the next game, against Athletic", El Cholo said after the game: "The Cup always throws up complicated situations".
Flattering score
Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone felt that the 3-0 scoreline his team registered in tonight's Copa del Rey quarter final first leg against Eibar flattered his team in what was a fiercely-contested match.
Praise for Eibar
Three-goal advantage: "Our opponents this evening have been working well both in the league and in the Cup. It wasn't as easy as the score might suggest".
