FC Barcelona news

Hansi Flick spoke at a press conference about various topics, the first of which was his current opponent, who will be one of his biggest tests throughout the season.

"We know we're playing against a fantastic team and one of the best managers. It will be a tough game. We all have to work hard. If you look at the table, there are some very good teams up there. We're in the same position. We're getting players back and we'll be able to raise our level," said the German coach.

"We have to play at our best against a team like this. I think they are one of the best teams in Europe, they have developed great quality and have improved with the summer transfer market. I like watching them play, they are very good in attack. We also have quality and we have to show it," he added.

Flick also referred to the current situation of the Culés, who are leading the league.

"It's the same pressure as last season," he said. "We also said that this year was going to be more difficult. It's not easy, everyone wants to beat the champions. We're top of the table, but we're not at our best at the moment. We have to take the necessary steps to play our best football.

"It's always important to be in the lead, but when you look at our season... we've had a lot of injuries. We've never used that kind of excuse. We need more minutes with the starting XI because last season was the ideal example. We had Pedri, [Frenkie] de Jong, the defenders... We had that consistency that we're struggling with this year. These aren't excuses and we've managed it. Our goal is to win a big game like tomorrow's."

Atlético Madrid news

El Cholo also appeared before the press, sharing his impressions of the opponent.

"The match we're expecting is very clear," said Simeone. "They have an incredible attack...we'll have to be strong to be able to compete. We'll have to take the game to where we can hurt them. They're a team that has proven their style. They don't change their attacking strategy and the high line they've been using. They have many variations."
