First i would like to congratulate the coach befor the players,it was a victory that take long times before i could see in the home of barce since 2006,,i want to still advice the entire team management,coaching staff and players that there’s a need for them to double the effort toward archeving there aims,a winning against barce mean we are now the league leader,we will enter new year 2025 as top of the table and in that process somemany competition will still be in process there’s need for this club to sign a perfect replacement for de paul and griezmann,if realy we are serious on facing the challenge in both outside and inside we need a player who can drave ball and penetrate the defense like [yannick carrasco] and likewise a player like [ardan turan] in the midfelder who can withstand any pressure in the midfelder i think if atletico madrid have these players we can compete for even champions league not even laliga only.
