Atletico’s Simeone says he won’t watch Real’s match
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said he would not watch Real Madrid’s La Liga game with Sevilla on Sunday after his side’s 0-0 draw with Barcelona on Saturday put the title back within their local rivals’ grasp. The draw leaves table-toppers Atletico on 77 points, and while Real sit three points back in third place, they can go top if they beat fourth-placed Sevilla thanks to a superior head-to-head record against the Rojiblancos. It would be the first time Atletico are not top of La Liga since Nov. 7 — and with just three games to go. “I’m not watching the (other teams’) games. I don’t enjoy it so I’d prefer not to watch,” he said. “So I’ll have dinner with my family. It’s a great season, where four sides are looking for the best possible ending.” —
