Atletico president Cerezo wants to end Real Madrid derby drought

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo is determined to see victory over Real Madrid this weekend.

Atletico haven't beaten their arch rivals in their last 20 encounters and Cerezo is hopeful that the team will end their poor derby form at the weekend.

"We have been saying the same thing for about 100 years now. We are desperate to pick up the full three points against Real Madrid," said Cerezo to Sport.

"We're very relaxed, but we really need the win to keep our ambitions of qualifying for European football alive. However, there's even more pressure on Real Madrid. This game could cost them the title and they'll be pretty nervous."
