Diego Simeone, the head coach of Atlético Madrid, is displaying strong confidence before the Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Barcelona.
Details: Following a 2–0 victory in the first leg, Simeone made it clear that he won’t adjust to the opponent or make drastic changes to his team’s tactics.
“I have a plan, and I’m not going to change my mind about it,” he asserted, highlighting that the approach for the upcoming match is already set.

Simeone’s calm demeanor seems to be a response to comments made by Hansi Flick, who suggested that Barcelona could progress without requiring any miracles. With a two-goal lead, the Argentine manager aims to stick to his pragmatic style.
The match is set for Tuesday, April 14, at 21:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: Atlético’s goalkeeper Jan Oblak has returned to training ahead of the Champions League clash.
