Unai Emery spoke ahead of the match against Atlético: "It's a match that will show us what we are capable of doing against the team that is in the Champions League, the current champion and one of the strongest in the league. It is a good test and we want to see how we are at the moment and it will show if we are contenders. Despite the losses we want to know where we are and that is something we can see in this match".

"Atlético is 4 points ahead of us with a whole lap to go and there is still a lot to play for, it is an important distance and that forces us to recover. We have to row to recover that disadvantage. But there is still a league left and Atlético is a huge challenge, they are not so regular at this stage of the championship but they can be. They should be in the fight for the league and they can be if they react. They are a great team that I have a lot of respect for. You only have to look at my stats with them."

"The league is what is going to feed us and what makes you grow. And it's in the league where we want to prove our credentials. This is a game that excites me, that feeds me and that makes me happy to be able to face it and enjoy it. It is a beautiful match for the people, for the team, for the club and for us as coaches. It's a match that I'm very excited about".
