Great result (2-1)



Barcelona earned a great result this Saturday afternoon against Atletico Madrid (2-1). The visitors started better and had chances to score more goals, but when Barcelona woke up in the 30th minute, Messi and Suarez scored two goals and decided the match.

Luis Suárez: "We are the opponent to beat"

Luis Suárez spoke to Cadena SER this Saturday about his relationship with Neymar and Messi, Real Madrid's situation with their new coach Zinedine Zidane.

Messi, Neymar and him

"I hope people will remember not only the three of us but the whole team".
"Neymar grew up a lot and makes me a better player. Messi... everybody knows who Messi is. Busquets, Iniesta... sharing the team with them is awesome".
"Maybe sometimes we are not agree in everything but we have an incredible relationship on and off the pitch".

Real Madrid

"Maybe with a new coach the motivation grows. And Zidane was a great player so it's natural that people admire him. But we are just thinking in ourselves".

Not in the 3 final candidates to the Ballon d'Or

"Not worried".

Two Champions in a row?

"With the ambition we have, everything is possible, but we are just going step by step".

Luis Enrique: "I was scared with that challenge on Messi"



Luis Enrique was happy with the team's performance and the victory over Atletico Madrid. These are his best quotes after the match,

Bad second half against 9 players

"We wanted to attack. In the second half we didn't manage to close the match. We didn't press well, but we knew how to suffer".

Reaction

"A difficult start. But we made a ver good fifteen minutes at the end of the first half. I liked that reaction from the team. Sometimes we are used to 4-0 scores and when we don't score that match maybe people think it's not a good match, but it is".

Filipe Luis' red card

"I was sacred with Filipe Luis' challenge on Messi. You saw my reaction so you can imagine".

VÍDEOS. Incredible saves by Claudio Bravo



Claudio Bravo is performing at a very high level. This Saturday against Atletico de Madrid he made two saves that earned Barcelona the victory. In the first half (picture above) he denied Saul from a beautiful long range shot. And in the second half, with Barcelona already winning 2-1, Griezmann couldn't find the net. He just found Claudio Bravo.
