Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone said their 2-1 comeback win over Bayer Leverkusen would live long in the memory as he praised his side's bravery after they played more than an hour with 10 men in a thrilling Champions League clash on Tuesday.

Piero Hincapie had put Leverkusen a goal up in the first half, following Pablo Barrios' red card for Atleti, which had looked like it put the visitors on course for victory

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone praised his side's intelligence in Tuesday's 2-1 come-from-behind home win over Bayer Leverkusen, saying the victory was "no coincidence". Atletico have made the showpiece event twice under Simeone but have lost to city rivals Real Madrid on both occasions.
