Barcelona defender Gerard Martin, who delivered a crucial assist in the historic match against Newcastle, has already set his sights on the club's potential next opponents in the Champions League.
Details: After reaching the quarter-finals, the young footballer openly stated who he wants to face next in the Blaugrana's European campaign.
Martin believes the main target for Barcelona is Atlético Madrid. The defender admits that there's a sense of unfinished business in the Catalan dressing room after several painful defeats to Diego Simeone's side.
"If we meet Atlético in the next round, we’ll be fired up for revenge. We have an overwhelming thirst for payback," Martin declared in his post-match interview.
It’s worth noting that a Barcelona-Atlético showdown is highly likely, as Atlético are currently level with Tottenham, and the aggregate score suits the Madrid side just fine.
Reminder: Barcelona defender Eric García avoided a serious injury and will return to action after the break.
