(Reuters) - Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone rued his side's missed chances after they drew Sunday's derby against Real Madrid 1-1 and lost the opportunity to move eight points clear of their city rivals at the top of La Liga.

Luis Suarez got Atletico off to a strong start with a goal in the 15th minute but they failed to build on their lead and Karim Benzema salvaged a point for the champions with an 88th-minute equaliser.

"In football you have to give everything throughout a match and if you don't take your chances you shouldn't be surprised if your opponents equalise. 1-0 is always a slender lead because every team has strengths and can always catch you out." "I don't want to make extreme conclusions, I'm left with many positive things right now," Simeone added."It's going to be very difficult for everyone from now until the end of the season.

"People thought we would win the title by 20 points but we know how difficult it is at every ground in this league."
