Lliga | Round 8: Atlético de Madrid vs. FC Barcelona 1-1

[MessiCam]

Im pretty sure we wint win to be honest. Post fifa break match, pathetico away, messidependencia again with him traveling the world playing at high altitude in Ecuador.
I would put messi on the bench for this one to avoid injuries and give a needed resr. Just play for a draw and sub him on in the 60th minute. Best case scenario we steal a win but im glad with a point given the circumstances.

Forgot about the altitude factor in Ecuador... I'd also bench Messi with that being the case.

[draconifire]

Will be our hardest game this season, given all the circumstances. Highly likely that it will end up in a draw.

[vlad]

If teams in la liga before gave 110% against barca, this season they will give 150% effort

[ThwiX]

Didn't drop points away to them in the league since the Tata season. Winning it by one late goal in every season Lucho was in charge. Can you guess which same player who scored that winner against them three times in a row during Lucho? Exactly. Messi. Crazy stat. At least one of those games he came off the bench because of the international break, same situation we will be in now.

A draw would be a good result. A win would be exceptional.

Why expectional? Atletico isn't looking that hot either this season so far.

[barcafan161]

Got to think our unbeaten start comes to an end here. Not that we will lose but of all the games we could drop points this is it.

Or Atlético's unbeaten run

[TS88]

I am going with Atletico to win. I think Messi is going to come back very fatigued after these qualifiers and we all know he is the heart and soul of this team. 1-0 win for Atletico.

[Machina]

Atlético Madrid will not give tickets to travelling Barcelona fans when the teams meet at the Wanda Metropolitano. [Diario AS]

[dakt]

We'll win.

[Origami]

We'll win. Barca is entering the game from an underdog position with little to no supporters. This will keep the players calm and they will surprise expectations.

[serghei]

My gut is telling me we are going to lose this game.

[Ousmane Dembélé]

My gut is telling me we are going to lose this game.

Don't worry Suarez will score at hat trick.

[Origami]

Don't worry Suarez will score at hat trick.

Sounds like something Bojan would say.
