Koke has been a key player for Atlético Madrid during Diego Simeone's reign.
The midfield stalwart has played over 700 games for Los Colchoneros .
However, Koke is not known for his goalscoring abilities, finding the net just 49 times since his Atléti debut in 2009.

The 33-year-old has broken that reputation in recent games by scoring in consecutive LaLiga appearances - a feat Koke last achieved in the 2016/17 campaign.
He marked the occasion with a wonderful half-volley finish to put Atlético in front against Girona on Sunday.
Simeone's side are seeking a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions. Will they secure all three points at Girona?
