Simeone: Draw makes Celta favourites
Posted Sunday, January 24, 2016 by foxsportsasia.com
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone believes that Celta de Vigo have gained the upper hand in their Copa del Rey tie after a 0-0 draw on Wednesday.
Neither team could find the net in the first leg at Estadio de Balaído, meaning that Atleti will have home advantage for the second leg at Vicente Calderon, but the away goals rule means that any score draw will favour Celta.
"It's an opening with a better percentage for them as they benefit from any draw," Simeone said, according to AS. "It's difficult but our opponent can have any score draw, while we have to win.
"Every time there is more effort and more work for the demand of the games. We'll have to rest and get in our best shape for the next encounter."
The second leg is scheduled for next week Wednesday, the 27th.
