Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone welcomed the possibility of meeting La Liga rivals Real Madrid or Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Champions League after his side thrashed AC Milan 4-1 in the second leg of its last-16 tie on Wednesday to progress 5-1 on aggregate.
It is the first time since Simeone was an Atletico player back in 1997 that Los Rojiblancos have reached the last eight of the Champions League and the Argentine insists they must enjoy the experience no matter who they are paired with.
"We will wait until the opponent comes out of the hat. It doesn't bother me at all if it is a Spanish team.
