Arda Turan calls for strong finish

Atletico Madrid winger Arda Turan has called on his side to overcome their recent slump in form.

The capital outfit have been in impressive form this season, but have lost their last two matches, with defeat to Almeria in La Liga at the weekend dropping them into third in the table.

However, Turan is confident that Diego Simeone's team will finish the season "in the strongest way possible".

"The season has been good but the most important thing is to finish in the strongest way possible," he told Marca.

"We will continue doing our best to achieve the club's objectives."

Atletico face Real Madrid in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Tuesday trailing 3-0 from the first leg at the Bernabeu.
