Atletico Madrid defender Pablo Ibanez insists the constant booing he's received by home fans this season isn't bothering him.

Pleas from coach Javier Aguirre and skipper Maxi Rodriguez have been ignored by Atletico fans still upset with Ibanez's apparent commitment to Real Madrid almost two years ago.

The defender, who was left out of Spain's squad this week, said: "There's nothing in it. I always try to make sure that the things affecting me personally are not taken onto the field. What I want is that the team wins, that is what we can control.

"What happens outside the pitch I have no control over."
