LANDOVER, Md. -- In the middle of his post-game comments following Wednesday night's 4-1 loss to
Brazil, Jurgen Klinsmann let slip what has been speculated for some time: That the U.
Atletico Madrid forward Jose Antonio Reyes has confirmed that he has asked coach Diego Simeone
to help transfer him to Sevilla
Simeone has just taken over the reins at Vicente Calderon and had previously spoken of his
desire to keep the former Arsenal player at the club. However, Reyes insists his mind is made up
and he is determined to return to the club where he started his career.
Atletico Madrid's revival under new coach Diego Simeone continued on Monday as Diego Godin fired
the winner in a battling 1-0 victory at Osasuna that lifted Atletico up to seventh in La Liga.
The Uruguay defender bundled in from close range at a corner just before the break and forwards
Adrian and Radamel Falcao missed gilt-edged chances to extend the lead.

Barcelona continue to maintain their hope in chasing the 10 points gap with Real Madrid after
beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 in Vincente Calderon, but apparently the success didn't make the
Catalan side's tactician, Josep Guardiola getting more confident.
After the match, Guardiola revealed to the press that the win doesn't increase Barca's chance in
leapfrogging Madrid for the La Liga title, as the tactician even think that his team are unlikely
to be retaining their crown this season.

'Twas the first legs of the semi-finals of the Europa League last night, the first of which saw
Atletico Madrid beat Valencia 4-2 at the Vincente Calderon to rack up a healthy aggregate lead
(those away goals could still prove costly mind) for the return leg at the Mestalla next week.
Atletico Madrid need to secure Champions League football next season if they are to hang on to
striker Radamel Falcao, club president Miguel Angel Gil

Europa League final on Wednesday, finishing the tournament as top scorer for the second season in a
row, with 12 goals.
