Ernesto Valverde Has A Message For Barcelona Fans Ahead Of The Atletico Madrid Clash

Ernesto Valverde has called on the Barcelona supporters to behave themselves when the Catalan giants host Atletico Madrid in a top of the table clash on Saturday.

Antoine Griezmann is expected to receive a hostile welcome when he steps on the Nou Camp Pitch. The French forward was heavily linked with a move to the Catalan club but he preferred to stay at the Wanda Metropolitano and released a documentary to make everyone aware of his decision.

But recent reports suggested the Atleti star is not happy with how the season has shaped up for them. They crashed out of the Champions League following their defeat to Juventus and are also lagging far behind in the La Liga title race.

Valverde said, “I want the fans to pay attention to us, not the opposition and support us.

“I don’t like when we go to other grounds and get booed, it’s like fans give more importance to the opposition than their own side, we want the opposite.

“Every player is free to decide over their future, just like the clubs can decide who they keep.

“Everyone is free to take their decisions and it’s just another game for us.

“Griezmann is a great player so we’ll take care, but nothing more than that.”

“The three points are important for both teams

“We would set up a big lead for the remaining games, and they would be able to close the gap.

“Atletico create deep pressure, their players are good at finding space, and they also have great shot takers.”
