The Civitas Metropolitano Stadium Will Host Atletico vs Barcelona

Atletico Has Been Hampered but Knows What It Wants This Season

It’s amazing what determination and consistency can achieve, and Atletico provides the perfect example after they had a rough start to the season.

To illustrate, in their first six games, they had two defeats, two draws, and two victories. Not bad, but their rivals were so far ahead that they left them behind.

But it seems that Cholo’s Atletico was able to put their heads down and change their destiny. After that followed three big victories in a row, which, by the ninth date of the season, left them in the number 3 position, behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona, their rival in this match.

Looking ahead to Atletico vs Barcelona, they must maintain the momentum they gained with this season-changing winning streak.

Barcelona Going Through Tough Times amid Lewandowski Glory

Barcelona seemed to be fixing its problems. While their first game was a poor start, the following seven were goal-laden soccer masterclasses in how to play for the win. Lewandowski’s arrival made all the ills of the previous season go away.

However, their passage through the Champions League seems to be upsetting their league dream as well, although it is too early to say, because they have really done excellently.

However, on their ninth matchday, they played the clásico against Real Madrid and the Merengues made their dominance known by sending three goals into Ter Stegen’s net.

The Blaugranas now have to hurt their rivals in Atletico vs Barcelona, and they must do it if they don’t want the first places to slip away from them at the worst possible moment.
