Gameiro: You gain confidence and can do more when you're scoring Europa League - Atletico Madrid 1-0 Copenhagen The Frenchman is pleased with his progress

Atletico Madrid beat Copenhagen 1-0 on Thursday night, as Kevin Gameiro's goal just after seven minutes helped his team into the next round of the Europa League.

The goal not only completed a 5-1 aggregate win, but also boosted the Frenchman's confidence levels.

"I'm fine physically, so when you score goals you get more confidence and can do more things," he said after the final whistle.

"I have not scored many goals from distance with the left foot, so it's nice for the team and for me.

"We played well and handled the ball well.

"We played our game and the most important thing is that we advanced."

Atletico Madrid and Gameiro now turn their attentions to Sunday's clash with Sevilla.
