The Brazilian has been a vital link for Atletico Madrid, as the 33-year old’s presence adds a much-required solidity at the back.

Simeone will be banking on his services especially while playing in the Champions League, as Luis has loads of experience of playing against some of the heavyweights of European football.

Filipe has in the past showcased his class with his aggressive tackles and his ability to win the ball from the opposition.

Luis’ role will come into play when Atletico Madrid play during the knockout rounds when they will play against some tough opponents.

Luis has looked equally strong while breaking the opposition's counter attacks with his intelligent moves.
