Atletico Madrid midfielder Mario Suarez has claimed that no side will want to face them after booking their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

A dramatic penalty shootout triumph over Bayer Leverkusen in the Spanish capital secured qualification, and Suarez is confident of achieving more success in the competition.

"The Champions League is the best competition in the world," Suarez, who scored the only goal in 120 minutes at the Vicente Calderon, told reporters. "We knew it would be tough. With the support and the atmosphere we succeeded thanks to Oblak, he has been fantastic.

"We are a team and we demonstrate that game by game. No one will want to face us now."

Atletico's appearance in the last eight of the competition is just their second since 1997.
