Barcelona has surprised the football world in the 2024/2025 season. After the disappointing last season and the club’s financial turmoil, many coaches, legends, players, and pundits have speculated that Barcelona might be back on its feet.
Rivalvery aside, Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone couldn’t hide his comment on this refined Barcelona side.
In a press conference via Mundo Deportivo, the Atlético de Madrid coach has once again heaped praise on the Spanish Giant, calling them the best team in Spain.
Although Barcelona lost the league match against the Madrid side on Matchday 18, Barcelona’s goals stats have been mouth-watering, scoring 64 goals in 23 league matches this season.
The red-and-white jersey club will face the Blaugrana in the semifinal of the Copa del Rey on the 25th of February at the Olympic Stadium and the return leg on the 2nd of April 2025 at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
The return leg between the two giants will be played on the 16th of March.
Even though Barcelona is a formidable side to face due to their attacking prowess, will they break through the low defensive block and rigid backline of Atlético de Madrid? Who will have the most laughs?
