It has been a difficult period for Barcelona in La Liga as they have won just one of their last six games. As such, they will join Atletico Madrid on points level on Saturday with their opponents, who have won their last 11 games in all competitions.
The two clubs are going through contrasting periods, but despite this, Barcelona defender Inigop Martinez 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 ahead of the mouth-watering showdown.
“Atletico 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 to clear our heads, which is often necessary. We will have to do very well, because a great Atletico is coming, with a lot of confidence. They are going strong, but we will fight them until the end.”
Barcelona are keen to end 2024 on a high, especially as they face a title rival. However, securing victory will be easier said than done.
