The La Liga match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will take place at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Monday at 1:30 am IST.
One of the highly anticipated football matches in Spain is scheduled to occur at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Sunday evening, featuring La Liga titleholders Barcelona hosting Atletico Madrid. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid currently share the same point tally of 31 in the standings, occupying the fourth and third positions, respectively. Additionally, Atletico has a match in hand against 18 out of the other 19 teams in the league.
Barcelona secured a crucial 2-1 Champions League victory over Porto, rallying from behind to reach the last-16 stage. Xavi, in his first season as head coach, focuses on La Liga after a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. Pressure on Xavi intensified due to recent underwhelming results. Currently fourth, tied with Atletico at 31 points, Barcelona aims to bounce back from a 1-1 draw and a previous loss to Real Madrid. The team’s home dominance against Atletico, undefeated since 2006, adds to the challenge for the capital side in this critical fixture.
This crucial match won’t benefit Atletico Madrid from the usual home advantage, as it’s being held at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys due to Camp Nou renovations. Diego Simeone’s squad, riding a four-game winning streak, enters with 31 points, having won 10, drawn one, and lost two. With a postponed game against Sevilla, Atletico is just four points behind the league leaders. Their recent 3-1 Champions League win over Feyenoord secured a last-16 spot. Atletico, with 30 goals and 12 conceded in La Liga, looks confident facing Barcelona, who’ve struggled in recent league performances.
Barcelona probable starting lineup: Pena, Araujo, Kounde, I Martinez, Cancelo, Pedri, Gundogan, De Jong, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Felix
Atletico Madrid probable starting lineup: Oblak, Gimenez, Witsel, Hermoso, Molina, De Paul, Saul, Koke, Riquelme, Morata, Griezmann
