Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says they won't lose focus on the La Liga.

Simeone has insisted that Atlético's top priority right now is beating Deportivo La Coruna, despite having a Champions League visit to Real Madrid around the corner.

"With the match just hours away, what's most important is being third. It's normal for the excitement over Wednesday's game to overshadow the importance of tomorrow's match.

"But that's not the case for us. I don't understand any ethos that doesn't involve only thinking about the next game," the Argentine claimed.
