The Argentine says his star forward ranks alongside the
best in the world and added that the Rojiblancos must continue to take their
Liga title hunt on a game-by-game basis
Diego Simeone believes Diego Costa would have made a
worthy Ballon d'Or winner for 2013, after the striker netted a double against
Levante to send Atletico Madrid top of La Liga on Saturday.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Franck Ribery and Lionel Messi have
been shortlisted for the prestigious prize but the Argentine coach believes
that the Rojiblancos' talismanic forward, who is now the Primera Division's
outright top scorer on 19 goals, would have made for a very deserving victor.
