Atletico Madrid captain Diego Godin says their spirit remains strong, despite a battling season so far.
Godin has marshaled an Atletico defence which has not conceded in any of their last three games, since a 3-1 loss at Valencia.
"We become stronger day by day and we know that the strength of our group is our environment and our people," he told the club's official website clubatleticodemadrid.com.
"We discard anything that is negative. Anything that could create divisions in the group, we discard it and it makes us stronger. We are accustomed to fighting and fighting like last year. Nothing will divert us from day to day and now we only think of Cordoba."
