3 reasons why Barcelona will beat Atletico Madrid this weekend
LaLiga has taken a very interesting turn this season. Earlier Barcelona were looking clear favourites to defend their title, now they have given an opportunity to their rivals to close the gap on the points table. The Catalans suffered a home loss against Real Betis, which led to a situation where all the top four teams are separated by a single point.
Barcelona are sitting on top with 24 points, while Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, and Deportivo Alaves all have 23 points. The race is certainly on, and with Real Madrid also catching up, this season certainly has a lot to offer.
This LaLiga season has many mouth-watering ties in store for us. One such match will take place at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano today, as Atletico Madrid take on Barcelona. This will certainly be a decisive match, and the outcome may have far reaching implications in the title race.
Here are three reasons why Barcelona will win against Atletico.
#1 Signings are performing well this season
Barcelona have finally found a way in their system to nurture the young talent in their squad. Barca have signed some really talented players in the summer transfer window who are taking the team to the next level. Players like Lenglet, Arthur, and Malcolm have performed really well this season.
Arthur and Dembele have impressed the most, as they have often been the deciding factor in matches. Arthur has been seen as a replacement for Iniesta by many, and he has proven this true to an extent. His temperament and passing has really been commendable, and his vision is also world class, as it helps him find players easily on the pitch.
Dembele on the other hand has come out of his shell, and is finally justifying his price tag with some crucial goals. His blistering pace and tremendous ball control is a continuous threat to the opposition.
With the evolution of such a young squad under Valverde, the future of Barcelona is definitely in safe hands.
