Xavi and Simeone are both hoping for 'vital' points when Atletico Madrid face Barcelona in LaLiga on Sunday.
Transcript
00:00 Yes, tomorrow's match is vital, like all the others,
00:05 because of the circumstances in LaLiga, we need points,
00:09 Champions League rivals, they showed it the other day,
00:14 they are a very strong rival, and more at home, with the help of the fans,
00:18 intensity, rhythm, I think that Atletic Madrid and Cholo Simeone
00:23 have been doing well in the last years, so, a complicated rival,
00:28 a really difficult match, it will be hard, but I think we'll do well,
00:35 they are also in a good state of confidence, both teams,
00:39 we'll see, it's a great match, and we can add 3 points in a field
00:43 that I think Atletic Madrid will not lose in LaLiga since we went there
00:48 last season, so, I can tell you how difficult it is to get the 3 points there,
00:55 but we'll try and hopefully we'll have a good match.
00:59 Well, the truth is that LaLiga demands us to be very attentive,
01:04 because obviously it will be complicated from the league to the end,
01:11 since Bilbao is doing very well, Real Sociedad is obviously improving
01:15 since they left the Champions League and have only one league,
01:20 and we have to focus on tomorrow's match,
01:26 we're playing against a team that plays very well,
01:29 we know them very well because they have hurt us in the last matches,
01:36 and we hope to play the match where we think we can hurt them.
