Go for it, Atleti! Barça Facing Their Key Moment
Barcelona is gearing up for a crucial April, with the Champions League and La Liga at stake. After eliminating Benfica, Borussia Dortmund awaits them in the quarterfinals, a significant challenge.
Furthermore, the Barça team faces Atlético de Madrid, a direct rival in the fight for the league lead and in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Pau Cubarsí, Barcelona’s center-back, is clear: “Now the season begins, the key moment, where you risk everything.” The young defender conveys confidence and assures that the team is focused on facing these challenges with maximum concentration.
They are aware of the difficulty, but they aspire to continue advancing in all competitions. Real Madrid, another of the great contenders for all titles, is a rival to take into account. Cubarsí professes respect for them, although not fear, and does not rule out a possible final between the two teams.
But before dreaming of finals, Barcelona has a tough test: Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano. Aware of the precedents (defeat in Montjuïc in LaLiga and a draw in the Copa del Rey), they know it will not be easy.
Cubarsí highlights Atleti’s intensity and the need to stay focused throughout the match. They expect an Atlético that will go all out, running for every ball as is their style. The key will be to maintain concentration for the ninety or ninety-five minutes. Cubarsí assures that Barcelona’s dressing room is a great family where everyone works to improve both individually and collectively.
