The President of the Vicente Calderon-based side believes that Los Rojiblancos must beat the Catalans to make amends for their defeat in the latest Madrid derby.
Atletico Madrid have had a season to remember. Their fans are jubilant with the performances of their team and are seen as living a dream.
The Madrid based club have never enjoyed a season so beautiful before and the dream that they are living can become a wish-able fantasy if they manage to defy the odds in the upcoming highly anticipated clash between them and F.C Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid are currently 2nd in the La Liga standings, behind table toppers http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. The point difference between the two sides is a healthy 6 points and the outcome of the match between the two may have a huge impact at the title race.
Real Madrid are the third team involved in the title race but they further find themselves 5 points behind their cross town rivals, Atletico.
A fortnight ago, Real Madrid won the battle of the capital as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon side
still find themselves very much in the title race.
"In the derby we lost three points. If you look beyond the fact that they are our rivals, those are three lost points," Cerezo told reporters at a cocktail party.
Atletico have to travel to Camp Nou and have a good form to take with them. Star striker Falcao is in breathtaking form and Barcelona will have to cope with his ability properly.
The Atletico President wants his club to pull one over their title challengers and wants his side to bring their La Liga aspirations back on track by beating the Catalans.
"And now we have to retrieve them from wherever we can, even Barca. If we win, then we will have to focus on Celta. We have to take it one game at a time and do not think about the title."
A win for Barca would give them a 9-point lead over Atletico Madrid.
