"Atletico" Madrid defender Koke admits that the "Barcelona" team may just be too strong for him and his club to throw them a suitable challenge in the fight for the "La Liga" championship title. After the "El Clasico" match and Real's defeat, Diego Simeone's players rose to second place in the Spanish league and are four points behind Barcelona. Nevertheless, the Spanish national team player understands that there is a considerable gap between his team and the leaders of the competition, and stopping the opponents from winning another title could be too difficult for them. "The players in the Barcelona club are of a very high level, and it is very difficult to beat them. They are very strong. We will just try to gradually achieve better results and see what it will bring us at the end of the season. We need to be patient, work hard every day, and win upcoming matches. Our club's ambitions are to win every game," Koke said at a promotional event. The next match for Atletico footballers, who are demonstrating the best defense in "La Liga" this season, awaits them today at 19:15 against the Espanyol club.
