The Barça, the worst nightmare of the Athletic of Simeone in League

The FC Barcelona will do all the possible, this Saturday in Wanda Metropolitan, for following with his spotless series of results in LaLiga Santander 2017-18, where already accumulates seven victories in the seven first days of competition. This will go through to win to one of the best teams of the championship, the Athletic of Madrid, an always complicated rival.

However, the reality is that to the FC Barcelona gives him phenomenal play against the Athletic of Madrid since Simeone is in the bench. Proof of this is that, with the 'Cholo' in the bench, the group colchonero has not been able never to win a party against the Barça in League.

Yes it has done it in two occasions in Champions League, but in League Santander for the moment has not achieved to obtain a good result that allow him add the three points, further that it won LaLiga 2013-14 in the Camp Nou with a tie (1-1), and that that same season obtained also other ties with the Barça so much in League as in Champions and Supercopa.

The FC Barcelona is the only team to the that Simeone has not achieved to win in League, and is thus that will take the party of this Saturday with special care, given the will of recortar points to the culés in the fight by the title (now the Barça surpasses him by six points in the table).

The Athletic of Madrid, a rival complicated

To day of today, the two only triumphs that the Athletic of Madrid of Simeone has harvested against the FC Barcelona gave in the League of Champions, in the seasons 13-14 and in the 15-16, the first by 1-0 and the second by 2-0, and the two served to delete to the culés in the competition.

It can say high and clear, therefore, that to the Athletic of Madrid costs him pin the tooth against the Barça. But when it does it, it pins it well. The ones of Ernesto Valverde already are warned, and will have to walk with a lot of eye in Wanda Metropolitan.
