Cape Town - Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone revealed he was proud of his team despite their agonising last-minute loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.
Neither side had managed to score across nearly 180 minutes of football and the tie looked to be headed for extra time when Javier Hernandez broke Atletico hearts with his 88th-minute strike.
The goal gave Real a 1-0 aggregate win over the two-legged encounter and ended Atletico's dream of making their second consecutive Champions League final.
