Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone has admitted that he doesn’t think striker Diego Costa will be fit for Tuesday evening’s Champions League quarterfinal tie against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, adding even more excitement to the already highly-anticipated match.

Following his press conference for UEFA, Simeone spoke to TVE and admitted that after seeing Costa in training, he’d be surprised if the Brazilian-born Spanish international was fit in time for kick-off, but would wait and see how things progressed throughout the day tomorrow.

“Seeing as how he left training, it’s hard for me to see [Costa] playing tomorrow, but we’re going to wait and see how things progress because there are a lot of minutes and hours between [now and the match].”

Costa left training early on Monday morning after injuring his knee and his absence would be a massive blow to Simeone’s game plan and a major boost for their opponents, Barcelona.

Damn right. Once Costa suddenly steps onto the pitch tomorrow Pique and Mascherano won't know what hit them. They'll be so confused, Costa will scored a hattrick in the first 15 minutes.

Cholo. :bow:

Lots of diving, fights etc..
Also a winner to be determined by away goals.
Hoping for a scenario like this:
Barca-Atleti 1:1
Atleti-Barca 0:0

Atleti to go through via away goals

Odd, thought the ref would have let them take the free kick. Oh well, since Barcelona drew this game, guessing Real is gonna lose to Dortmund tomorrow.

Sigh...

Pfffft, this Atletico is so freaking phyiscal and well organised. We tried the Madrid-way of letter our wingers cross but we come 10cm short (just like me). very hard to break down

Tata is an idiot. Once Fabregas went off and Neymar and Iniesta played in their usual positions, that happened. Would have won this easily if he played 4-3-3 from the beginning instead of shoehorning Fabregas into the middle and moving Neymar to the right.

Oh, and Iniesta > Messi. Not even debateable. Best big game player of all time.
