Diego Simeone: 'Tiredness not an issue'

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone denies that his side are fatigued.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has insisted that his side are not feeling fatigued after a long and tiresome season.

The capital outfit currently top La Liga with just two games remaining, while they will contest the final of the Champions League against Real Madrid later this month.

Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Levante was arguably Atletico's poorest performance of the season, but Simeone has quelled suggestions that his team are struggling with tiredness.

"I don't think that the squad is tired coming up to the end of the season," Marca quotes Simeone as saying.

"Our reality is to go game by game. That will be the objective until the end. But we are not a perfect team, we can win and we can lose.

"It's true that we have the chance to become champions, but all we can think about is doing well against Malaga and we will concentrate on them. The Double? We are thinking about Malaga, we are respectful and if we don't think about them it's not productive."

Atletico host Malaga in La Liga at the weekend.
