FC Bayern München manager Carlo Ancelotti says he is a big fan of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.

The two will square up to each other in a Champions League encounter at the Vicente Calderon on Wednesday night, Atletico having knocked out Bayern on the away goals rule in last season’s semi-final.

Speaking ahead of the match in Spain, Ancelotti, formerly in charge at Real Madrid, was full of praise for the Argentine.

“I like Simeone’s style. He gets more tired now than when he was a player and he’s a very good coach, one of the best in football right now,” he said.

“Atletico’s style is very clear and everyone knows it – they are very well organised and difficult to play against.
“Though we don’t have any clear advantage over them, Bayern Munich are in good form and ready to put on a good performance,” added the 57-year-old Italian.
