Tino Costa insists Valencia can compete with Barcelona, Real Madrid

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 06:57

New Valencia midfielder Tino Costa insists they can challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona for the title.

Costa arrived in the summer from France.

The Argentine said: "No doubt it will be very difficult. Barcelona are on a level all on their own. I've seen Real Madrid play and I don't fear them. I think Real Madrid, we can play as equals, we can match them. If you say we will finish fourth or fifth, it's not worth the effort.

"We have to be the most ambitious ever. Then whatever will be, will be, but even when we play against Barca we must go out to win or steal points."
