"Everything he told us to do came together on the pitch"

Tiago spoke to the cameras after Atlético's 4-0 defeat of Real Madrid on Saturday.

Victory: "We wanted to keep up the pressure on Barça and Madrid in the league and we got the three points on a very good afternoon for us. We didn't give Real Madrid any openings, everything went our way from kick-off."

Keys to win: "Our intensity, from the first minute. Madrid played during the week and that worked against them. We knew that with our fans behind us we are strong and we showed that."

Simeone's tactics: "We wanted to exploit the spaces that Real left behind them. We got into the game early and we found the areas where we could hurt Madrid. Our manager has shown what he is about; everything he told us to do came together on the pitch."

Morale: "I have been through the times when we couldn't win and this, when everything went our way. Not much has chanced, but our confidence has. We have everything very clear in our minds, we're a strong team and we have a lot of identity. We knew if we followed what we have been doing that victory was possible."
