FC Barcelona dropped points for the first time this season after drawing 1-1 with Atletico at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Atleti also dropped points on home soil for the first time this season, but Simeone singled out Messi for special praise on the night.
“The stadium was wonderful, we had another night of brilliant football, and with the impressive Messi – extraordinary,” Simeone said.
“Messi was the only one who you could see where, every time he touched the ball, something different could happen.
“He was certainly not as tired as many expected after the trip [from international duty in South America] because he played a tremendous match.”
