Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has said that he is "really satisfied" with the way his team are performing.

Simeone's side went three points clear at the top of La Liga with a 3-2 win over Levante on Saturday.

"We always imagine the best as always when you start any job, looking forward to the best," Simeone told reporters. "We're really satisfied with our job and all chances to grow up and improve.

"The guys have improved a lot in the last two years. This is not a situation. It's a whole thing – about the fitness, tactics and committed to a clear target as a club.

"We won't negotiate our idea, thinking match to match, step by step. In the difficulty we're able to find solutions and that's really healthy looking at our future."
