The Atletico Madrid star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Filipe-c13764 Luis, will be playing as a left-back against Barcelona and has stated that he feels motivated to play against a player like Lionel Messi.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 will be facing the second-placed Spanish La Liga side, Atletico Madrid, in the Spanish La Liga over the weekend.
The Catalan giants have not lost a single game in the league for now, and they are currently the favourites to win the game against the Madrid-based club.
Atletico Madrid have managed to make a strong start to the Spanish La Liga season. They have been able to impress many footballing pundits and fans, as they have not lost a lot of games and are currently placed above the Spanish champions, Real Madrid, in
the Spanish La Liga.
The second place in the league is definitely something which the Spanish giants have over-achieved this season, as not many were expecting them to stay second for such a long time in the season.
For the past few seasons the race for the Spanish La Liga title was usually between the two Spanish juggernauts, Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, this season, thanks to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simeone and Radamel Falcao, Atletico Madrid are placed second in the league.
Since Atletico Madrid will be facing Barcelona over the weekend, their left-back, Filipe Luis, is going to be facing against the Argentinean maestro, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who has already gotten the status of being a legend.
Messi has been on a goal-scoring spree recently and Luis has stated that he is motivated to face a player like the Argentinean star.
“It motivates me to face a player like him. In these games, you grow.”
“I feel better for such challenges. I am relaxed and very focused. It often happens that in this game the team plays well.”
Rumours suggest that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 and Adrian are both currently injured to play against La Blaugrana, and Luis is hoping that they both recover before the weekend fixture.
While speaking about the game against Barcelona, Luis said:
“Now we face Barcelona, which will be complicated. We have our options though. We hope that Falcao will recover, as he is very important, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adrián-c3701 too.”
