Mario Suarez confident of Atletico Madrid turnaround

Atletico Madrid midfielder Mario Suarez says that the Spanish side are still confident of overcoming Bayer Leverkusen in the last-16 stage of the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Mario Suarez is confident that his side can advance into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Spanish outfit will enter the second leg of their last-16 clash against Bayer Leverkusen trailing 1-0 from the first leg.

However, Suarez has claimed that Atletico's home support will drive them over the line on Tuesday.

"Bayer have the advantage, which obliges us to score first, but we aim to make it into the quarter-finals by giving 100% and showing our best side," Suarez told reporters.

"The coach and his staff have told us exactly what we have to do. We've had time to prepare for this game and above everything we have to be competitive and intense. We are at the Calderon in front of our own fans and must be at our best to reach the next round."

Atletico reached the final of the Champions League last season.
