Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that Atletico Madrid are favourites when the two meet on Sunday evening.
The Andalusian side host the capital club tomorrow night, and the Chilean Coach has claimed that his team will do well to nullify the threat posed by Atleti striker Diego Costa.
“Atleti have been playing with conviction and intensity,” he told a Press conference.
“They are certainly a strong team. Every one of their players is at a high level and perform at the highest possible stage.
“Diego Costa especially is going through a great moment, but I do not want my players focusing on just one of theirs.”
