There are new chances in the life, not revenge. And this is another chance." Antoine Griezmann's second-half goal proved decisive for Atletico, who progressed courtesy of the away goals rule as they reached a second final in three years. Simeone said his side's preparation would be better in 2016 than it was two years ago, when they faced Barcelona in a crucial La Liga clash a week beforehand."We will have the chance to better prepare for this final. That year we played a final against Barcelona one week and the following week another final against Real Madrid," he said. "We will have at least 15 days to work on this final. It doesn't guarantee anything at all but we will have both teams in better condition for one of the greatest events in the world." Simeone's men are still in the race for the league title, level on points with leaders Barca ahead of Sunday's trip to Levante.</blockquote>
