GAMIERO LEADS ATHLETICO TO IMPORTANT VICTORY



The former Sevilla star was on top form as he helped the Colchoneros to an important victory, and his coach was delighted with his impact.
Diego Simeone saluted Kevin Gameiro for breaking PSV's resolve as Atletico Madrid won 2-0 to secure top spot in Champions League Group D on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich suffered a shock 3-2 defeat to Rostov in an earlier kick-off on Wednesday to give Atletico the opportunity to clinch their progression as group winners and, while it was by no means a vintage display, Simeone's men ultimately prevailed.
Gameiro broke the deadlock with a clinical finish just after the break and then Antoine Griezmann wrapped things up with 24 minutes to go, but it was the former Sevilla man who drew most of Simeone's attention.
He told reporters: "Perhaps in the second half when we looked least comfortable and were under a bit of pressure, Gameiro's break and pace helped us turn the game on its head.
"Gameiro was looking good in the first half too and had some chances.
"The goal was a demonstration of his qualities; speed, power, finishing. It was a great finish.
"That's what both he and Griezmann offer. It was an important moment both for him [Gameiro] and the team. We were able to open up the game when they were making things difficult for us.
"After Saturday's loss [to Real Madrid] we wanted to put that behind us."

Godin: I dream of lifting the cup

Source: FIFA.com Diego Godin has revealed he cannot stop thinking about the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ and expressed his desire to become the first Uruguayan in 68 years to lift the Trophy. Jules Rimet handed it to Obdulio Varela – albeit in bizarre circumstances – at the Maracana in 1950, and though  La Celeste reached the semi-finals on three occasions thereafter, they have never gone further, losing to Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and the Netherlands in 2010. Eight teams have shorter odds of winning Russia 2018 than Uruguay, but that does not stop the Atletico Madrid centre-back from dreaming big. “There isn’t a day goes by that I stop thinking about the World Cup,” Godin told  Radio Rincón . “I dream of lifting the Trophy – of course, I do. “We qualified for the World Cup well. The important thing is that no-one gets injured, that everyone is right physically.”Godin believes the secret to Uruguay’s prosperity under Oscar Tabarez – t...
