Caparros backs Atleti for the title

Levante boss Joaquin Caparros admitted there was nothing his men could do as they lost 3-2 to Atletico Madrid.

Having gone 1-0 up and then clawed back to 2-2, a late Diego Costa goal condemned the Granotes to defeat at Vicente Calderon on Saturday.

“We surprised ourselves at the beginning,” he told a Press conference. “We took the initiative and could have even gone 2-0 up.

“But Atletico Madrid can crush – when they get going they are a hammer that just smashes you.

“My players put in so much effort, but they paid for that in the end.

“I think it would be very welcome to see Atleti go all the way. They have a mentality that every team can get behind and support.

“I think, with the year coming to an end, we have the points we expected. We just have to work hard now for the second half of the season.”
