Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said the team with the most mental strength will prevail in La Liga's title race, which remained on a knife edge after his side were beaten 2-1 at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. Diego Simeone stressed that 'the mental factor' will be key in deciding the LaLiga title race'People ask me what the most important factor will be and it's obvious to me that it will be the mental factor,' Simeone told reporters after a second defeat in five league games. They visit Elche next before a crunch visit to Barca, then host Real Sociedad and Osasuna before a trip to Real Valladolid. We had a big lead this year but we knew Real and Barca were not going to surrender. It will all come down to how mentally strong we are and how determined we are in those five games.'
