Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone believes it's all "still to play for" in their Champions League quarter-final with Leicester.
Atletico came away from their home leg with a 1-0 victory courtesy of Antoine Griezmann's first-half penalty, and Simeone believes Leicester are pinning all their hopes on the second leg at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
Simeone says Atletico were not clinical enough despite having the majority of the possession, and admits he wanted a bigger result.
He said: "We lacked the clinical finish. We had most of the possession but I think Leicester were gambling on getting us on the counter attack. I think they are betting everything on the second leg.
"It was a hard-fought match. It's a good win for us but the second leg will be difficult. It's all still to play for.
"You always want a bigger result obviously. We played a team who knows exactly what they want and how they play. I'm happy with the work rate of my own team. The result is quite open but it doesn't surprise us."
Simeone added that nobody seed them in the semi-final just yet, and is expecting a tough atmosphere back in Leicester for the return leg.
"As for the second leg we anticipate a fantastic English atmosphere. The tie is still 50/50. Nobody sees us already in the semi-final.
"From the outside we could say it was a ying-yang game. On one hand we didn't concede any goals, the team completed many passes and created a lot of chances but it was only 1-0.
"I think my team played a very good game, although maybe we lacked that clinical finish.
"The only thing is we didn't quite put the tie away. We had quite a few chances."
