Barcelona – Barcelona hopes for their home advantage against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, wants the supporters to give more support in the upcoming match.
Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid in the continuation of La Liga will take place at the Olympic Stadium Lluis Companys on Sunday (12/22/2024). This match will be a duel for the top of the standings.
El Barca is currently at the top of the standings with 38 points. Their points are the same as Atletico, but they have a better goal difference.
However, Los Rojiblancos have played one match fewer than Barcelona. This puts the Blaugrana’s position at the top very much at risk. Therefore, Barcelona must win this match to secure the top position.
That mission won’t be easy. Barcelona is currently on a downward trend.
Barcelona has only won once in the last five matches, with the rest being two draws and two losses. Meanwhile, Atletico has swept their last five matches with victories.
Barcelona President, Joan Laporta, said that El Barca must forget the poor results in the last few matches to focus on facing Atletico. He also hopes that the support from the fans can provide an additional boost of motivation for Hansi Flick’s squad. Barcelona must truly take advantage of their status as the host in this match.
“We are working hard as a team.” In football, we can get better, but I don’t like looking back. We are first now and I see the glass as half full. “I wanted to be seven points ahead, but we got lost and lost points we didn’t want to lose, but for me, that’s the past,” said Laporta, quoted by Yahoo Sport. “We need to prepare the team so that every match feels like a Champions League match.” The next match against Atlético is very important, and I will use it to encourage the supporters to cheer more than ever before. “This team needs the support of the community,” he explained.
