The former Monaco forward admits Diego Simeone's side are focusing on maintaining their four-point lead over their city rivals in La Liga
Yannick Ferreira Carrasco has admitted that Atletico Madrid's objective this season is to finish above fierce rivals Real Madrid in La Liga as Barcelona run away with the title.
Atletico are second in the table, eight points adrift of defending champions Barca, who look set to finish on top of the pile again this term.
Carrasco was on the scoresheet in Sunday's 3-1 win at Valencia as Atletico maintained their four-point buffer ahead of third-placed Madrid, a gap the Belgium international is keen to extend.
"The first goal is to be above the Real Madrid and the second fight to win the league," Carrasco told Cadena Ser.
"I do not know if we can, but we must win every game."
Atletico, who beat Madrid at the Bernabeu on February 27, are undefeated in six La Liga matches and seven in all competitions as they prepare to host Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday before welcoming Champions League opponents PSV to the Vicente Calderon three days later.
