However, the Spanish champions have signed Mario Mandzukic and Antoine Griezmann and Simeone feels they will still be capable of challenging.

“We’re working from top to bottom,” he said at a press conference.

“Now we will return to Madrid and find another group and we’ll slowly prepare for the start of the season.

“Today we have the same structure we have had for three years. Obviously our attacking potential made us grow, but the structure is the most important and ours is solid.” (goal.com)[eap_ad_3]
