Barcelona and Atletico Madrid meet this Saturday night. This is the biggest La Liga fixture today and the most interesting of the entire round. Blaugrana needs to win to stay atop the table, while Atletico plays extraordinarily well these days, having won the previous 11 matches.
Barcelona News
The biggest news coming from Blaugrana is that Lamine Yamal won’t play due to his injury. Hansi Flick’s team didn’t have too much luck with injuries over the past few weeks, which is why the results significantly worsened.
Barcelona has only one victory in the last six matches. That’s why their biggest rivals, Real and Atletico, erased the deficit between them. Right now, they simply need three points to stop the crisis and rebuff these two teams’ surge.
Atletico Madrid News
The Mattress Makers have defeated 11 rivals in a row, and are tied first in the La Liga standings. But there’s a catch that favors Atletico. They have the same number of points as Barcelona but one game in hand, which allows them to be more relaxed ahead of this event.
Believe it or not, the reason for all these triumphs is fantastic strikers who constantly present a threat to the opponent’s defenses. In only two of the wins mentioned above, Atletico couldn’t net two or more goals. Of course, the key player in all this is Antoine Griezmann with five assists and seven goals throughout the La Liga campaign.
