"Atletico" captain Gabi: we are becoming one of the best clubs in the world © EuroFootball.com

"Atletico Madrid" captain Gabi is happy with the team's results and claims that this club is slowly becoming one of the best in the world. The team coached by Diego Simeone this season demonstrates impressive sports form. On Wednesday, the Spanish capital team eliminated "Barcelona" from the UEFA Champions League and reached the semifinals, which they last reached 40 years ago. "Over the past years we have worked hard, so gradually we have become the club that can compete with the best," said the 30-year-old midfielder. "We dedicate this victory to our fans, who have been with us even in the toughest times," added the footballer. "Atletico" not only demonstrates good play in Europe, but also in Spain. In the "La Liga" championship, the winners of the King's Cup currently hold the first place, but Gabi is not yet certain about the title. "The league is currently in our hands, but there are still six games left. On Sunday we have a very important and tough match ahead, as we will be facing a frequently underestimated opponent (Madrid's "Getafe" - ed.)", concluded the captain.
