Koke: Atletico will keep fighting until the end

Koke insists Atletico will continue to fight for the Liga title despite a 0-0 draw with Villarreal leaving the side eight points behind Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke refused to concede his team's La Liga title chances after a scoreless draw with Villarreal saw his side lose ground on leader Barcelona.

Luis Enrique's defending champions were the only team in the top five to win this weekend, battling to a 2-1 triumph at Las Palmas on Saturday, that puts them eight points clear with 13 matches remaining.

Second-placed Atleti and Villarreal canceled each other out as a display of their formidable defensive capabilities resulted in a stalemate at the Vicente Calderon.
