Valencia midfielder Mario Suarez has claimed that his former Atletico Madrid teammate Koke is a more complete player than Spain and Barcelona legend Xavi.
Suarez looks set to go head-to-head with Atletico for the first time since leaving the club in July 2015 when Valencia host Diego Simeone's men in La Liga on Sunday and the contest will have him facing off against a host of familiar faces, none more so than Koke.
Although five years Koke's senior, Suarez has known the Spain international since they were both boys coming through the ranks at Atletico and now Suarez, 29, believes Koke is on course to become one of the world's elite players.
