Forlan: No extra pressure on me

Atletico Madrid ace has revealed that he is in a relaxed frame of mind ahead of the key game with Valencia on Sunday.

Forlan has enjoyed a stellar season with Atletico, a campaign that has seen the club challenge for a coveted top four finish.

With only three games to go, Atletico are currently fifth, just one point behind fourth-placed Valencia.

Even though Forlan acknowledges that the match is a crucial one, he feels there is no added pressure being heaped on his shoulders.

"It is the game we all want to win, knowing that we depend on ourselves against a rival team like Valencia," the former Manchester United star told Marca.

"We have the chance to qualify for the Champions League. We have many desires and expectations coming into the match.

"The responsibility is always the same. I do not feel anything extra, and I will continue to play as I have done up until now. We all help each other.

"The team is in good form and we are near to where we want to be. We will see if we can achieve our objective of qualifying for the Champions League, that is what we all want."
