BAKU, Azerbaijan (Reuters) - Diego Simeone still believes his Atletico Madrid side can reach the knockout stages of the Champions League despite a frustrating goalless draw at Qarabag on Wednesday that extended their winless run in Group C to three games.
Despite claiming one point from their opening two matches against AS Roma and Chelsea, Simeone's Atletico -- finalists in two of the last four seasons -- were expected to make light work of unfancied Qarabag, who picked up their first Champions League point.
