Pablo Piatti: 'We can beat Atletico Madrid'

Valencia attacker Pablo Piatti is confident that his side can overcome Atletico Madrid in their Copa del Rey quarter-final clash.

The first leg of the contest takes place at the Mestalla this evening, with Piatti insisting that their supporters will hand them the "strength" to claim a victory.

"We are going out to win. That's our aim. We are at home and with our fans behind us to give us strength we can do it," Piatti told reporters at a press conference.

Atletico are the current holders of the competition having overcome capital rivals Real Madrid 2-1 in extra time last season.
