Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has conceded that it will be almost impossible for his side to win the league title this season.

The Spanish club finished the previous campaign in third position, but the Argentine does not believe that his side will be able to improve this time around.

"No, I absolutely do not. Madrid and Barcelona play a different league. This is a boring championship," Simeone told reporters at a press conference.

"We'll have to wait for television distribution to change because now the league is only between two teams."

Atletico began their league season with a 3-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday.
