Barcelona will try to keep up in the race for the La Liga title when they host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday at 21:00.
Last time Blaugrana drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo and two points drifting from Real Madrid after Zinedine Zidane’s men saw Espanyol on Sunday evening.
The hosts will find it far from easy against Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, who have been unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions and are now back in third in the La Liga. In addition, Atletico emerged victorious when the two teams met in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup in January.
Will Quique Setien’s men keep up with the Los Blancos or will Atletico Madrid give their fierce rivals the lead in the title race?

Previous formations of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid:
- Barcelona (vs Celta Vigo): Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Alba; Vidal, Rakitic, Puig; Messi, Suarez, Fati.
- Atletico Madrid (vs Alaves): Cloud; Trippier, Savic, Gimenez, Lodi; Correa, Koke, Partey, Saul; Felix, Morata.
Players to watch:
- Barcelona: The Blaugranas are slow, disconnected and predictable right now and Lionel Messi aside, it’s hard to see where the spark will come from. A lot of pressure for Messi’s backup is falling to seventeen year old Ansu Fati, who has scored five goals in just nine La Liga this season. La Barca looks much better with Fati on the field and there is a good chance that Setien will once again rely on the teenager to help open a stubborn defense of Atletico Madrid.
- Atletico Madrid: No player embodies Simeone’s spirit better than Saul Niguez. The Spanish midfielder has been absolutely fantastic for Los Colchoneros once again this season, making more interceptions (48), tackles (118) and blocks (62) than any other player in the club, while he is also chipped with four goals in the other end of the field. Atletico will likely relinquish most of the possession to Barcelona on this, so Saul’s monumental work ethic, hard tackling and compound passage will be key to establishing their foothold in the game.
