Diego Simeone: Atletico only think about ourselves

Diego Simeone insists Atletico Madrid are only thinking about themselves, not Barcelona.

After beating Real Sociedad 3-0, they cut the distance behind the league leaders to five points, though the Catalans have a game in hand, on Thursday night against Rayo Vallecano. 

"We keep trying to improve ourselves. We know it's very unlikely Barcelona will lose matches. So we only think about ourselves," said Simeone. 

"I think that today's game went very well at the beginning. We found ways to play a good match. We played well from the midfield upwards, having chances to score.

"The second goal at the start of the second half also made us live more comfortably for the remainder of the game."
