MADRID (Reuters) - Despite last-minute upheaval due to two players testing positive for COVID-19, Atletico Madrid head to the Champions League 'Final Eight' tournament in the knowledge they have a golden opportunity to finally win Europe's biggest prize. "Beating the champions raises your confidence but we know no-one will make things easy for us and we have to continue as we were after lockdown," said midfielder Koke. With Simeone drilling them from the sidelines, Atletico have all the ingredients to avenge their recent heartbreak in the competition. "I have lost two finals but when you lose you are hungrier than ever when you go again, and I'm more determined than ever to win the Champions League," added Koke. "We have a beautiful opportunity to win this trophy if we do things the right way."
