Simeone calm after Atleti defeat in Seville

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is not losing sleep after Atletico Madrid dropped more points in the title race in La Liga Santander on Sunday.
Atleti suffered a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday night with Marcos Acuna netting the winner on 70 minutes.
Simeone has claimed there will be no panic even with the title race seemingly thrown open following that defeat in Andalucia.
Rivals Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are now both circling ahead of the end of season run in, sitting just three and four points off the pace respectively with the latter having played a game less.  
“The Spanish championship is tough and we will fight until the end,” he said in a post-match interview with Marca. 
“We are competing, and we must keep working and improve our intensity.”
Barcelona will be aiming to close the gap at the top to just two points with a win over Real Valladolid in midweek as all three sides move level on 29 games played in 2020/21.  
Barcelona and Real Madrid will face off in the Spanish capital next weekend with Atletico heading back to Andalucia to face Real Betis.  Simeone’s challengers will then travel to the Camp Nou on May 9 in what could be a title deciding clash in Catalonia.
