“Any day is a good day to beat Madrid”- Atletico President

He talked about the need for his side to be confident with the knowledge that they can beat any team.

He told reporters in Tallinn: “There’s a good feeling as always, although we need to remember this is a match at the very start of the season and that there are many players who haven’t been able to take part in all of the training sessions.

“Real Madrid have also had players at the World Cup, including one who might not play.

“We had some in that match too, who arrived back this week.

“The situation is the same for both teams.

“I say we must go out and try to win, keeping in mind the precautions you need to have with these pre-season games.

“We need to be confident, knowing that we can beat any team.

“Any day is a good day to beat Real Madrid, but we need to be cautious and know who we’re playing against.

“They have a great team and are champions of Europe.”
