Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone would be unwilling to use revenge as motivation if his side face Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
Simeone s side booked their place in the decider in Milan on May 28 despite a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich in their second leg on Tuesday.
Atletico face either Manchester City or Real Madrid in the final, with their city rivals having beaten them 4-1 in the 2014 decider.
Despite that, Simeone said he would happily face Zinedine Zidane s men, who are locked at 0-0 ahead of their second leg with City on Wednesday.
I am happy, he said of potentially facing Madrid.
We want something else now but I don t believe in revenge. There are new chances in the life, not revenge. And this is another chance.
Antoine Griezmann s second-half goal proved decisive for Atletico, who progressed courtesy of the away goals rule as they reached a second final in three years.
Simeone said his side s preparation would be better in 2016 than it was two years ago, when they faced Barcelona in a crucial La Liga clash a week beforehand.
We will have the chance to better prepare for this final. That year we played a final against Barcelona one week and the following week another final against Real Madrid, he said.
We will have at least 15 days to work on this final. It doesn t guarantee anything at all but we will have both teams in better condition for one of the greatest events in the world.
Simeone s men are still in the race for the league title, level on points with leaders Barca ahead of Sunday s trip to Levante.
