Prediction: 1-1
Barcelona
There will be fireworks when Atletico Madrid and Barcelona go head to head at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in the La Liga round 8. Los Rojiblancos aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Alaves where they failed to create a descent goal-scoring opportunity. Returnee Antoine Griezmann has been struggling to find his best form, with Angel Correa pushing for a start. The good news for the hosts is that Joao Felix returns from suspension, as well as Stefan Savic who is back from the Champions League ban.
Midfielder Thomas Lemar has overcome his injury. Barca, on the other hand, defeated Levante 3-0 on Ansu Fati’s return from injury. The Catalans aim to rejoin the title race, and given Atletico Madrid’s poor display in the loss to Alaves, we are tempted to put our money on draw. All Alex Balde, Martin Braithwaite, Moussa Wague, Sergio Aguero, and Ousmane Dembele miss out with injuries for Barca.
Highlighted Player (Luis Suarez):
Luis Suarez is a controversial footballer who plays for La Liga side Barcelona as a striker. The Uruguayan forward moved to Europe in 2006, signing a deal with Groningen. After scoring 10 goals in 27 league appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 Eredivisie campaign, he joined Ajax at the end of the season. The prolific striker scored no less than 81 goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and, as a result, Liverpool chiefs decided to sign him on 31 January 2011.
Suarez became the club’s most expensive signing and he was producing thrilling performances with the Anfield outfit between 2011 and 2014. Liverpool were on the verge of winning the 2013/2014 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and they eventually finished the season in second place in the standings.
In 2014 Suarez joined Barcelona and he was the top scorer in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign. He won the 2013/2014 Premier League Golden Boot as well and in 2011 he clinched the Copa America trophy with Uruguay.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
