After conceding three minutes into the match the Rossoneri did well to rally, equalising on the night through captain Kaka, but were eventually overpowered by their hosts who scored a further three goals to win the tie 5-1 on aggregate.
“Atletico Madrid can try to win La Liga and also proceed in the Champions League,” Abbiati told Tuttomercatoweb.
“It seems right to me that Atletico have reached the quarter-finals.
“Simeone’s team are not a favourite, but can go even further because it has a good coach and a good team.”
Rossoneri goalkeeper Abbiati spent the 2007-08 season on loan at the Vicente Calderon from Milan and went on to make 30 appearances in all competitions for Atletico.
