Simeone also said that his side and Real Madrid both play in a similar way and there will not be much between them on Friday night.

"After achieving the main goal to be among the top three and getting into the Champions League, to ensure economic growth a better economic future for the club, it is now most important for the fans to win tournaments," Simeone told the club's official website.

"People are not going to celebrate the third place, but they will with this type of game. We have the ability. Since the cup began we wanted to win and we are in the place where we wanted to be.
