Abel Resino believes unity in the camp following his arrival as coach was the reason behind Atletico Madrid securing Champions League football for next season.

Resino replaced Javier Aguirre in the Vicente Calderon hot-seat in February and helped steady the ship before Saturday's 3-0 victory over Almeria ensured a fourth-placed finish in the final La Liga table.

"We should be happy about what we achieved," declared Resino.

"When I arrived the team was very far from this dream, but little by little we've been earning points and the players came together to reach the goal.

"I took the team at a time when they were down and I had to work on a lot of things, especially mentally.

"But then the players came together and fought together to achieve this goal. Their unity was the key to success."
