Atletico Madrid fullback Guilherme Siqueira insists they're on their way back.
Siqueira has warned the rest of the Primera Liga that Atletico Madrid fear no-one as they target the top of the table.
"We go match by match. We can compete with any team. We know our limitations and we prepare to win against the best.
"The mentality of the coaching staff is seen through the players. That is what Simeone preaches. We know what we play for and what we have to do on the field. Intensity is our keyword.
"The team keeps growing in all facets of the game, and that's positive because we have footballers on this team to play attractive and beautiful games.
"We are following a good path and we must continue on it."
