Atletico Madrid looks to beat Barcelona to end the year on top
Atletico Madrid will face Barcelona on Saturday in Montjuic to close 2024. The team arrives in great form, with eleven consecutive victories in all competitions and the possibility of ending the year at the top of the table if they are able to defeat the azulgrana team in the Catalan capital, something they have never achieved since Diego Simeone became coach.
The confidence in the colchonero dressing room is high, but the rojiblancos players understand that Barcelona will be more dangerous now, because they are forced to react in front of their fans and because in these moments the great players tend to take a step forward. The match on Saturday will be the acid test for Atletico Madrid, who are preparing the match with great care since Tuesday in Majadahonda.
