Jonny: The desire to play for Atletico Madrid is still there Premier League Spanish full-back has excelled with Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered heartbreak in their recent FA Cup semi-final against Watford, and despite having joined the club permanently, Jonny Otto has admitted that his desire to play for Atletico Madrid is still present.

Atletico signed the Spanish defender but immediately loaned him to the Premier League club, something which surprised the player at the time.

"My desire to play for Atletico Madrid is still there, honestly," Jonny explained in an interview with Radio MARCA.

"It's clear that Atletico are a great club and it's a shame I couldn't make my debut, but I liked the Premier League so much I decided to stay.

"At the moment, I'm working with a great club that has a positive and happy dynamic."

Wolves have actually been the scourge of Manchester United's recent travails, yet ahead of the English giants' Champions League clash with Barcelona, Jonny believes it will be a close tie.

"They have taken a good dynamic with the new coach, it's going to be a great match and a very close tie," he noted.

"I don't think Manchester United will change their style; they are vertical and will surely play in that way.

"They have a world class player in Paul Pogba, who has already played in a great team at Juventus."

When pressed on the best players he'd faced in his career, the Spanish defender was eager to avoid attempting to compare others with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

"[Eden] Hazard is a player who is great in a one-on-one situation and he takes advantage of any opportunity to go past you," he admitted.

"Cristiano and Messi are players from another planet.

"For any other player it will be very difficult to reach those numbers."
