The FC Barcelona will face this Sunday what presages will be a hard clash in front of the Athletic of Madrid in the Cívitas Metropolitan. The ones of Xavi Hernández, those who come in series after adding nine consecutive meetings without losing (six victories and three ties), will measure in front of a combined 'colchonero' that home has known to be relentless in LaLiga, to the point of still have not lost his first meeting in condition of venue in the domestic contest, adding 13 triumphs and a tie in 14 parties played.
In this crossing, one of the so many things of which has to take care the FC Barcelona is, at all more and at all less, that of the afamada 'law of the ex'. This no written norm of the football in which a footballer that belonged to the rival club, was fortunately or by meritocracia, finishes having a very good performance against his exequipo. Already the cast culé knew to do it valid in the duel happened in front of the 'rojiblancos' in LaLiga in Montjuïc (1-0), since Joãor Félix, exjugador of the Atleti, was the one who defined the actions with an only target. Nevertheless, it can not ignore the possibility that the situation invest , which is a latent possibility in the environment.
Griezmann And Memphis, the candidates of the Atleti to do cost the 'law of the ex'
The reason that the Catalan picture can arrive to 'fear' by this afamada law goes through the presence of two exazulgranas in the square of the 'Cholo' Simeone: Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay. The first, the one who finished his cycle like culé in the year 2021, arrives to this meeting like the star of the combined 'colchonero', adding already 19 annotations, one less than Álvaro Morata (leader of the Atleti). Equally, it leads to the Madrilenian square in assistances with seven, two above Marcos Llorente, his nearer perseguidor in this register.
The French, although it could not do feel like goleador in the meeting of gone in front of the Barça in the present edition of LaLiga, already knows what is to convert annotations against the combined Barcelona in the past. The 'Principito' already has invoiceed him six targets to the Catalan cast in 30 commitments: three of them with the elastic 'rojiblanca' and the others three with the one of the Real Sociedad.
Added to this, is not less true that comes to do him a key goal to the Inter of Milan, by what is in a big moment tanteador. However, in spite of having seen action against the picture 'nerazzurri', a duel extenuante in physical terms, it is necessary to remember that the Frenchman came recovering of a torcedura of ankle. Therefore, his presence in the crash in front of the FC Barcelona could be a doubt. It will be necessary to see if the 'Cholo' Simeone decides to risk ranging to the '7' in the eleven initial, if it uses it like revulsivo or if simply it decides to not to give him minutes of action to take care it.
The Dutch will look for to annotate his first goal against the FC Barcelona
The another exculé that it could be in 'play' in this duel is Memphis Depay. The Dutch left the dynamics of the Catalan cast does very little, specifically in the wintry market of the year 2023. The native of Moordrecht, to the equal that 'Grizi', could not vulnerar the resistance of the Barça in the past commitment between Barcelona and 'rojiblancos', in the 25 minutes of party that contested.
The exjugador of the Manchester United has turned into a revulsivo of gold for the team of Diego Pablo Simeone, accumulating already nine annotations and two assistances in 26 duels with the elastic of the Atleti. In his record against the FC Barcelona hardly appear three scarce duels: two with the Lyon and one with the Athletic, where has not attained to annotate goals in any occasion, by what if the 'Cholo' gives him the opportunity to see minutes against the combined Barcelona, surely will look for to break this 'drought' against the Catalan picture and, of course, look for a target that do him go in in a positive series. It is worthwhile to remember that the Dutch invoiceed a so much vital in the past crash of the 'colchoneros' in front of the Inter of Milan by the Champions League, being east the agónico so much with the Madrilenian finished forcing the extention.
