It has been a difficult time for Barcelona in La Liga, as they have only won one of their last six games. Therefore, they will enter Saturday’s match against Atlético de Madrid tied on points with their rival, who has won the last 11 games in all competitions.
The two clubs are going through contrasting moments, but despite this, Barcelona defender Íñigop Martínez is confident of victory at the Estadi Olimpic. According to Gol Play (via MD), he also revealed that he and his teammates had a chance to reset before the delicious showdown.
“Atlético is a great rival, but I have no doubt that if we do our job well and are at our level the result will be in our favor.
“We have had a few days that have been very good for clearing our heads, something that is often needed. We will have to do things very well because a great Atlético arrives, with a lot of confidence. They are going strong, but we will be in the fight against them until the end.”
Barcelona will want to finish 2024 on a high, especially as they face a title rival. However, securing victory will be easier said than done.
