Simeone psyched to make Atletico gr-eight again

MADRID - Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone lauded his side's determination to keep making its mark on the Champions League after it reached the last eight for a fourth straight season.

Simeone's men have lost out in the final to cross-city rival Real Madrid in two of the past three campaigns.

However, it has another chance at Champions League glory as a 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday sealed a 4-2 last-16 aggregate win and its place in Friday's quarterfinal draw.
