Diego has claimed that Atletico Madrid are going up against the best team in Spain at the Vicente Calderon tonight but argued that Real Madrid are "not invincible".

Los Blancos have not been defeated by their city rivals in 13 years either, but while Diego is well aware of the threat posed by Madrid, the Brazilian insists that the Rojiblancos are not afraid of their neighbours.u00a0
“We will be facing the best team in the league but we’ll go for the win and we’ll see what happens,” he is quoted as saying by Radio MARCA. “Madrid are not invincible, but they are the leaders and you have to respect them. But we must not forget that we are at home and that must motivate us.”u00a0
