Madrid "Atletico" star Radamel Falcao claims that he and his teammates are traveling to the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium to fight only for victory.

"Los Rojiblancos" currently hold 2nd place in the standings with 8 points, ahead of their neighbors "Real", but this Saturday these teams will compete against each other.

Before the upcoming derby, "Atletico" leader Falcao stated that the team will fight for all three points: "Football players always step onto the field to fight for victory. I never go to play for a draw. I can only be satisfied with one point when the match is going badly, but when we step onto the field, we aim to win."

"We want to beat our biggest rivals. I have played many derbies, so I know that the atmosphere is always special, but we always concentrate on football and don't think about the circumstances," said the Colombian.

"We are a strong team and we are looking forward to facing our toughest opponents. The situation of the clubs in these matches will not matter to anyone, the most important thing is victory," concluded the footballer.

This season, Falcao is demonstrating impressive form: in 12 Spanish league matches, the Colombian has scored 11 times.
