MADRID (Reuters) - La Liga champions Atletico Madrid are improving all the time and the club are focused on finishing third and securing a lucrative place in the Champions League again for next season, coach Diego Simeone said on Tuesday.

Simeone has done a fine rebuilding job following the departure of key performers like top scorer Diego Costa and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Atletico won the Spanish Super Cup in August by defeating city rivals Real Madrid.
