Simeone: Barcelona are playing some other sport, they're the best
Atlético Madrid boss Diego Simeone praised Barcelona's pressing and courage after eight wins from eight and 36 goals, singling out Raphinha's 12 and Yamal's seven.
Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has called Barcelona the best team at the moment, pointing to a run of 8 wins in 8 matches this season and 36 goals scored.
Simeone singled out the forward line. Barcelona had no centre-forward, he said, and Raphinha has filled the position and scored 12 goals. Lamine Yamal has seven.
"It feels as if Barcelona, unlike us, are playing some other sport. They had no centre-forward, but Raphinha appeared in that position and scored 12 goals. And Yamal has seven. They press at home and away, take your time away and are not afraid to take risks and concede. It feels as though conceding a goal only makes them better. At the moment they are the best," Simeone said.
