Gabi said in press conference "we will fight, personally I think we have had the best team. They have shown in the past six years,they are amazing the world with their football, they have been a role model for many of us . From there only praise for Barcelona, but we have clear possibilities to win. We will work our best to try to make the best possible tie".

Captain continued "we're getting close to them, we are approaching them about work, sacrifice and results. That gives us a lot to keep working, to know that we are on the right track and to be aware that we are close to beat them".


Regarding that Villa will play against his former team, said "Guaje has a very long experience, to face Barca he will always be important, but nothing beyond the usual. Is highly motivated to help the team and he is proving it every day".


Regarding the choice of the tie, said "if I say that we are the favorite, you will tell me I'm crazy, if I tell you that Barcelona, you will say that we are victims so you tell me. Based in the last five years statistics, I think it is Barcelona".

He made clear on the tie that "we are a team that likes to make a strong first leg, because we believe that the second leg is a result of playing in the first. If the first leg is set can give you a slight advantage playing at home, but I think the first leg will be decisive in the tie".


He noted, "Atlético Madrid will not change his style of play. We are a very strong team physically, you can play very well but is very difficult to take a possession away, so we will prepare as we have always done".

To finish on the Champions League said "we're going to do our best at the Nou Camp, it will be a decisive match. We will try to do ourbest, but it is going to be difficult with such a powerful team like Barcelona and more even to stop them in his field".


On Sunday's match against Betisasserted "it is vital match to remains at the top. I congratulate them for the effort they did against Sevilla in Europa League. We expect a team that has little chance in the league and on Sunday they will try to do their best".


Regarding the Real Madrid -Barcelona on Sunday "if we win in Sevilla any result would be good, Barcelona will play their last trick to engage the Madrid. Any result will come in handy to the Atletico de Madrid".


Finally, he said, "victories are fueling our dreams, our hopes of being all the way with two great teams. It gives you belief in our work, the team is taking an outstanding season and we want to stay the same way".
