Simeone's long-lasting Atletico Madrid Atletico Madrid Qualified six times for the last 16

Diego Simeone was appointed as Atletico Madrid's coach back in 2011 and since then he has managed to change the club's history.

Under the Argentine, Los Rojiblancos have qualified six times for the Champions League Round of 16, while before his arrival they had done so just seven times in 60 years.

Despite the departure of paramount players such as Diego Godin, Antoine Griezmann, Lucas Hernandez and Juanfran, Atleti will be once again in the tournament's knockout stages.

Simeone underlined that the team are going through a transition period, but his players did their homework against Lokomotiv Moscow and clinched qualification.

The team's next challenge will be to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament, but their path won't be an easy one.

European powerhouses such as Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are among the sides against which Atleti may be drawn against on Monday.
