For all competitions, not only the Champions League, Luis’ presence generates hierarchy, generates confidence in our team and obviously a lot of attention in rivals because history joins a footballer that has a strong gift regarding his relationship with the goal,” he told a news conference on Monday.

Simeone is wary of Chelsea, who are unbeaten in their seven games since Thomas Tuchel took over in January.
We respect all opinions and we listen to everyone, but tomorrow we are facing a great team and the tie is very even,” he said.
“We have been at the club for a long time and all of you know how we work – game by game and do our job.”
