"Diego Costa played a very good match," - said the coach after the victory in Valencia. - If the "Ballon d'Or" voting were extended, he would fight for this title."
"Diego showed that he is the leader of "Atletico" and helped us to earn very important three points. I hope that his excellent performance will not go unnoticed and he will be a contender for the "Golden Ball" next year," added D. Simeone.
After this victory, the Kings Cup winners climbed to the first place in the "La Liga" championship, but "Barcelona", having won three points today, pushed "Atletico" down one position again.
