Koke has described Saturday's match against Barcelona as Atletico Madrid's "last bullet" as they seek to prolong La Liga's title race.

And Spain international Koke, while acknowledging the odds are stacked against his side, is determined to keep fighting for as long as possible.

"We will go with everything we have to win the game, it's our last bullet," the midfielder told beIN Sports .

"In the last few years we've been at a great level, we've always wanted to win but we have to be realists, there are huge teams in front of us."

Koke also hailed the importance of Antoine Griezmann, who remains the subject of speculation linking him with a move away from the Wanda Metropolitano.

"He's decisive for the team, even if he doesn't score," Koke said of his club's star man.

Atletico sits five points clear of third placed Real Madrid as they look to keep their place among La Liga's elite.
