Atlético’s coach said that "We believe in the important match that we have to play in Málaga. In these instances, all matches are very complicated. We have to be strong, very intense and, above all, look for our attacking speed to harm them and take the match where we want to. They have a good grasp on set pieces and play good football, and that demands you to play a great match and we will try."

He did not reveal the possible eleven against Málaga because "We are evaluating some situations, but it is clear that we need everyone and it doesn’t matter how many minutes they can play, we them available. I wish we are lucky to choose those who can interpret the game better to resolve it well. Tomorrow will mean a big effort because we have played on Tuesday and we’ll have to play on Tuesday again. I don’t understand a better way of getting to our next match than by playing well tomorrow."

The League enters a critical phase. Our coach commented that "We are entering complex matches. Playing away from home in this instance is not the same as in the first round of play because the rivals play differently and have more needs. Tomorrow’s and the next game are away and will be almost determining for what is left in the League."
