Koke: Atletico in good shape to challenge Barcelona
Koke has been thrilled with Atletico Madrid's form going into next week's match with title rival Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke feels his side is in good shape ahead of the crucial La Liga clash with Barcelona on Wednesday.
A 5-0 win against Sporting Gijon on Saturday made it three consecutive victories in all competitions without conceding for Diego Simeone's side.
That ensured Atleti remains one point behind Barca - which had earlier thrashed Leganes 5-1 - in the table going into their match at Camp Nou.
Koke, impressed by how his team has responded to two disappointing draws at the start of the campaign, is confident ahead of the clash with the champion.
