Suarez Affirms Atletico will take Revenge when against Real Madrid

DBasia.news – Atletico Madrid striker, Luis Suarez is enthusiastic about facing the Madrid Derby against Real Madrid in the continued LaLiga match on Sunday (07/03) 22.15 WIB. El Pistolero hopes Atletico can avenge their previous defeat.

Last December Atletico lost 0-2 to Madrid at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano. That could be Atletico’s motivation to avenge their defeat when they played at Wanda Metropolitano. Suarez thinks Atletico players are ready to face Madrid.

“All matches against Real Madrid are special, that’s what you want to play and show (what you can do in the match),” Suarez said in an interview for LaLiga as quoted by Marca.

“A lot of players are evaluated for their performances in this kind of match. It is a game (you want) to play. We have to take revenge for the first meeting and can show that we want to stay at the top of the league.”

Not only risking prestige between fellow city teams, the match will also be a duel for two teams who are both fighting for the LaLiga title with Barcelona. Atletico are currently at the top of the standings with 58 points from 24 matches and Madrid in third with 53 points from 25 matches.

Suarez, who has played his first season with Atletico since moving from Barcelona, has confirmed his desire to help the team win the LaLiga title, last one won in 2014.

“We are a team that has a lot of enthusiasm, the desire to go far, to be successful and nothing will take away our enthusiasm and competitiveness,” said Suarez.

“There are a few days left and we will show our mentality. As a player, you always have this desire, to come to a team like Atletico who have not won a title for a long time and are able to obtain it,” he added.

Real Madrid is Superior

It won’t be easy for Diego Simeone’s Atletico to avenge the defeat of Zinedine Zidane’s team. Because Atletico have never won in the last nine LaLiga matches against Madrid (five draws and four defeats).

Even worse, in the last three matches Atletico were unable to score against Madrid (335 minutes). Atletico’s headquarters is like a home for Madrid who have been undefeated three times there.
