Valencia midfielder Javi Fuego had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Inside Spanish Football): "The locker room hasn't talked about Atlético yet. We take it as just another match, but surely you can't deny that it's very attractive for the public. We know that at Mestalla we'll have the support of a spectacular atmosphere."
"It's one match more," he added. "All are equal, all give three points. Like everyone, we'll prepare to the fullest."
