A huge match awaits in the Wanda Metropolitano. Our side will host Valencia in a thrilling top-of-the-table clash. Kick-off is set for 8:45 p.m. CET.

Valencia are currently third in LaLiga with 40 points, six behind Atleti. Under Marcelino, 'los Che' have improved drastically and are currently in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey.

For our side, Diego Costa has recovered from his hamstring injury and has been called up for the match. It's unknown if he'll feature in the match, but his presence in the squad list is a boost for the team.

It's an important and difficult match, but our players know that winning is a must.

"Valencia are doing well in the league. They’re competing very well," said José María Giménez. "It’s obvious that our objective is to win this weekend, do our best in the match in order to keep our distance from Valencia."
