Pau Cubarsi has warned Barcelona they will need to be “at 100%” against Atletico Madrid if they are to sign off 2024 in style
The Catalan giants have been below their best recently and dropped points against the likes of Las Palmas, Real Betis and Leganes.
And Cubarsi says it’s time to go full out and pick up an important win.
> “It will be tough and if we are not at 100% anything can happen. We will have to go out with clear ideas and go for the victory,” he told the media.
>
> “We are doing well in the Champions League, but in the League we have taken a step back: we must give it our all and be ourselves.
>
> “Winning would be a big step because we would be leaders in January.”
Cubarsi was given a rest last time out against Leganes, with [Eric Garcia coming back into the team](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2024/12/15/24321871/barcelona-coach-explains-decision-to-replace-pau-cubarsi-with-eric-garcia-against-leganes), but is expected to be back in the starting XI against Diego Simeone’s side.
