Atleti President: The Game Was Amazing

Los Colchoneros overturned a one goal deficit in the Champions League qualifying round by thumping four past German side FC Schalke 04 in the second leg at home to advance to the competition proper for the first time in 12 years.


And the club’s president, Enrique Cerezo, was thrilled with the team’s comprehensive victory and congratulated everyone involved with the achievement.


“It was an amazing game! We scored lots of goals and did not concede any,” he beamed to Canal Plus.


“We have now fulfilled our dream. Everyone from the players to the fans who fill the Calderón to cheer us on during the game… we have all done it. We have achieved it.” 


Finally, Cerezo commented that he has no preference over who his opponents will be in the group stage, in which Atleti will be drawn from the fourth pot.


“It doesn’t matter to us who we will meet. Whoever it is, we welcome them,” he concluded.
