Tiago credits Atletico Madrid teammates for strong form

Atletico Madrid midfielder Tiago credits his teammates amid suggestions that the Portuguese is currently playing the best football of his career at the age of 34.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Tiago has paid tribute to his teammates amid suggestions that the Portuguese international is currently in the best form of his life.

The 34-year-old started his professional career in 1999 with Braga and has since represented the likes of Benfica, Chelsea, Lyon and Juventus during a well-travelled career.

Despite seemingly approaching the end of his playing days, Tiago's performances over the last 12 months have been widely lauded and he has been an ever-present for Atletico this season.

The midfielder has claimed that he 'feels very good' despite his advancing years, but has credited his teammates for helping him maintain a high level of form.

"I want to say yes, this is my best form. I feel very good, but credit goes to the team and the players who are with me. Those in defence and in attack. They help me a lot, make it very easy, and I think that is the secret," AS quotes Tiago as saying.

Tiago signed a new two-year deal with Atletico in the summer of 2014, and as it stands will be a free agent next June.
