Atletico Madrid host nearby Rayo Vallecano on Saturday with Paris Saint-Germain target Filipe Luis in their squad.

Atleti boss Diego Simeone on calling up Filipe: “I talk to him daily. He’s told me everything he’s had to say and vice versa.

“I have no other comments to make. Obviously what interests me on Saturday is that we take advantage of the game and the players we have.

“Filipe is in the squad. We always try to focus on the good of the team, like I have done since coming here.”

Rayo boss Michel on facing ‘the best Atletico side in years’: “This match is of maximum difficulty.

“We look forward to facing the best Atletico side in years. We have to give our best version

“We have to face these games giving 100 percent. Our idea with the ball will be the same as always, although we know the difficulties that our opponents are going to pose us in attack.
