Simeone calls for respect and solidarity with families after train tragedy

Simeone called for respect and solidarity with families affected by Wednesday's train disaster in Toledo that claimed dozens of lives.

Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone addressed the media ahead of the team's trip to Levante, and was asked about the tragic train accident that occurred in Toledo on Wednesday, which claimed dozens of lives.

"It's a difficult moment, being close to the families who have suffered important losses. It's a complex moment, we must have a lot of respect, and I hope things will be resolved for the better in the future," Simeone said.

Atlético Madrid observed a minute of silence on Thursday for the victims at the club's offices and before training sessions for the men's and women's first teams, as well as the reserve side.
