Simeone pleased despite performance

Diego Simeone has called his Atletico Madrid side's 1-0 away win over Granada 'a match of two halves'.

Arda Turan grabbed a late goal to give the capital club the three points, but the Argentine Coach was disappointed with his men's first half performance.

“We knew what was going to happen in the first half,” he told a Press conference. “But we could not control them.

“Granada played a great first 45, with aggression, intensity and chances.

“In the second period we understood what we had to do. Koke and Arda Turan were the players of real quality, and they got us out of trouble.”
