Atletico Madrid stopper Tomas Ujfalusi claims that the club's players must believe that they have the capability of qualifying for the Champions League this season.

Los Colchoneros lie a massive 10 points behind fourth-placed Valencia in the race to return to Europe’s premier club competition, and Sunday’s weekend defeat to Sporting left coach Quique Sanchez Flores appearing downbeat to the team’s chances.

In an interview with AS however, the Czech defender feels that they must keep the faith that they can close the gap on their Primera Division rivals.

He remarked: “One thing is to believe, and it is quite another to go out and do the most we can to win games. We have a very good team who can come out of the worst of situations. Everyone has to believe, but we all must do our part.”

Ujfalusi also mentioned the meeting held with board member Gil Marin, and what was discussed, adding: “He wanted to see us to assess the situation after the last match, which was very bad and we had no chance of scoring.

“We still have 18 games, however, to reach fourth place and we know that we have no margin for error.”
