The Argentine is preparing his side to face the La Liga leaders and admits the only way of beating them is to surpass their work rate.Diego Simeone admits Barcelona could kill his Atletico Madrid side if they don't show 100 per cent commitment in Sunday's clash at the Vicente Calderon.The Catalans reached the final of the Champions League after beating Bayern Munich 5-3 on aggregate on Tuesday and will win La Liga with victory over Atletico.He told reporters: "If you go tight they'll kill you. If you wait they will kill you. You have to go for every ball as if it's your last. You can't think too much about the threat they have. The Argentine also spoke about the respective efforts of Fernando Torres and Mario Mandzukic this season and revealed which one will play against Luis Enrique's side.
The evaluation has to be done at the end of the season. Mandzukic has 20 goals and Fernando has scored three in the league and three in the cup since he arrived. They are very competitive. We need them both. Against Barca Torres will play, he often has the answer in big games.The 45-year-old then praised the balance Barcelona now possess in their side by listing the multiple threats they boast in their squad.This year they have two great goalkeepers. [Javier] Mascherano is huge, [Ivan] Rakitic, Luis Suarez, who is incredible at scoring and shutting down the defence.A few of the players have played there for a decade or more and then they have Messi and Neymar who are extraordinary.
