Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone hopes his side can draw confidence from their thrilling 2-1 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain as they prepare for their LaLiga match against Mallorca, Soccernet.football reports.

Following a difficult October where they recorded just one win in five games, Simeone’s Atletico have bounced back with three consecutive victories.

Angel Correa’s 93rd-minute goal in their recent win over Paris Saint-Germain guaranteed a standout victory, handing Luis Enrique’s side a rare home loss.

Diego Simeone hopes his side’s success at the Parcs des Princes will spur them on as they resume LaLiga action against Mallorca on Sunday.

“The hardest thing in football is to maintain consistency and we did it winning a Copa del Rey match at Vic, in LaLiga against Las Palmas and at PSG on Wednesday,” Simeone said as quoted by Reuters.

“We are working on that and I hope we can build up momentum.

“We’re going to face an opponent who plays very well, who are brave, who have a lot of tools, who are very strong at home and we’ll try to take the game where I think we have to take it.”

Atleti have come under heavy criticism for their mostly defensive setups in games. However, Simeone brushed off such comments, insisting that they do not move him.

“We can’t always perform at the highest level like we want, we hope to do so, but sometimes we can’t respond to what we demand of ourselves,” he added.

“There is an overall idea that the team competes as a unit. Against PSG it was defending with a lower block and the most important thing is that the team feels identified with what we do.

“To represent Atletico, to wear this shirt is a great motivation, no matter who you play against. I don’t move from that line.

“Mallorca are a brave team, they have good aerial play, they know how to counter-attack. They are doing well in LaLiga. They concede few goals, it will be a difficult match.”
