Defence key in Russia – Savic

Stefan Savic has once again shifted the focus onto Atletico Madrid’s defensive importance in their Champions League clash away to Rostov.

Savic believes his side will be able to score at least once with their attacking options, but having conceded only three goals in ten matches this season, the Montenegrin primarily feels the key to victory lies in Atletico’s defence.

“This is an important match for us as I hope we can keep on winning game after game,” Savic tells Marca.

"We have to be strong in defence and try not to concede a goal, then with our attacking strength I hope we can win.

"Yes, it will be different from Madrid, but we're going a little bit in advance and I hope we can go into the match in the best way possible.”
