Valencia boss Nuno has praised his side for securing a point in a 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid on Sunday evening.
Los Che trailed to a first-half strike from Koke, but responded late on through Shkodran Mustafi to claim a draw at the Calderon and boost their hopes of a top-three finish.
"This was a difficult game against a great team, the champions of La Liga, a team that has been playing together for a long time, at a stadium that really gets behind them. We have to take this as a point well earned," Inside Spanish Football quotes Nuno, whose team finished with 10 men following a late red card for Javi Fuego, as saying.
The point kept Valencia fourth in La Liga, just one point behind third-placed Atletico with 12 games remaining.
