Atletico Madrid winger Jose Reyes hopes his side's UEFA Cup exit will not affect their Primera Liga campaign as they aim to book a Champions League spot.

"We are really disappointed and upset about not being able to get through and now we’ve only got one competition left to play for," Reyes said.

"But we will pick ourselves up from this and finish in the top four," the former Real Madrid man told reporters on Friday.

Atletico were knocked out of the UEFA Cup on Thursday after slumping to a 1-0 aggregate defeat to English side Bolton Wanderers.

The capital side, who lie fourth in the league table with 41 points, host Osasuna on Sunday.
