Atletico Madrid's Raul Garcia had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Inside Spanish Football): "I'm confident that we will produce the same output as we did last season. We were written off on many occasions last year and we showed everyone that it wasn't true. We are approaching this campaign with the same ambitions as the last one. This teams wants to be the best they can possibly be, even though last year was the first time we've reached such a level for a long time."
"We know we'll be coming up against top level competition again," he added. "But we will be as prepared as ever for these tests. I hope to offer much more of the same as I did last year."
