“He (Costa) can slam the door shut again, it’s mighty cold here”, Cerezo said when quizzed on Costa rumours.
“The bib [incident] is in the past”. “I made a mistake, but my relationship with Jose Mourinho is wonderful, and that is that”.

“You never know (about a return to Atletico Madrid), look how well Filipe Luis is doing now. I always wish Atletico the best and I always follow them and support them from afar”. There is still a long way to go but we will give it our best.
They did, however, reach the Champions League knockout phase with an impressive 2-0 win over Porto on Wednesday, which has been in part attributed to the decision to drop Cesc Fabregas.

“Hopefully we don’t have to play them”, he added.
“We need this win [against Porto] to change the season”.
