Koke: "We are clear winners"

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke believes that the team were the "clear winners" in their Champions League quarter-final tie against Barcelona.

Koke has described Atletico Madrid as the "clear winners" following their 2-1 aggregate win over Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The midfielder scored just six minutes into the second leg at Vicente Calderon, sealing the team's first last-four appearance in the competition in 40 years.

The 22-year-old told reporters: "The [goal] was very important because it helped the team to move on to the semi-finals. The work of the team in the tie has been spectacular. We are clear winners. I think with people like [the fans] it is very difficult to lose a match.

"[Being in the semi-finals after 40 years] is spectacular, this team has no limits. Let's make the people keep dreaming. The next team which we will play will be very complicated. We have eliminated one of the best, if not the best."

The draw for the semi-finals takes place on Friday.
