Atletico Madrid attacker Angel Correa hopes to start 2016 on a high when they meet Levante on Saturday looking to keep pace with their Liga title rivals.
Diego Simeone's men recorded a hard-fought 2-0 win over Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday in their last game of 2015, with Correa and Antoine Griezmann finding the net in the closing stages of the game, and the Argentine youngster wants them to build on their victory at the weekend.
"We were very happy with the win over Rayo and to end the year on a high," Correa told the club's official website.
"We now have to build on our win over Rayo versus Levante.
"We are on the right path and must continue like this against Levante on Saturday. It will be a very difficult match for us."
The Vicente Calderon side have every reason to be confident heading into Saturday's match, though
This weekend's encounter could be the ideal encounter for Fernando Torres to end his goal drought and reach 100 goals for Atletico at last. The striker has been stuck on 99 strikes ever since finding the net in a 2-0 victory against Eibar on September 19, but he has scored three goals in his five games against Levante in the top tier.
They saw off Sporting Gijon 3-0 on November 22 courtesy of a double from Deyverson and Zouhair Feddal's strike, but have since lost five matches and drawn the remaining two.
