Kuala Lampur, April 15 --  

MADRID, April 15 - Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said that his team was ready to finally win the Champions League after knocking out Barcelona yesterday to reach the semi-finals.

The Rojiblancos fell to a 2-1 quarter-final second leg defeat at home but that was enough to progress 3-2 on aggregate after their 2-0 win at Camp Nou last week.

Atletico, who have never won the competition, will face Arsenal or Sporting Lisbon in the semi-finals.

"We'll go into it with all our hope, with total belief. We know the strengths we have and our flaws," said Simeone.

"We're ready. We're going to go after what we've been chasing for many years."
