Cerezo Mocks Barça's Interest in Álvarez

Before Saturday's Liga match at the Metropolitano Stadium, both clubs' executives gathered for their traditional pre-match meal. Barcelona was represented by president Rafael Yuste and directors Josep Cubells, Josep Ignasi Macià, and Joan Solé, while Atlético was led by president Enrique Cerezo.

When questioned about Barcelona's interest in Atlético striker Julián Álvarez, Cerezo quipped, '¡Estáis pesaditos con Julián!'—essentially telling the Barça delegation they are overly persistent in their pursuit of the player.
