Overview of the match for Atletico Madrid against Barcelona
A massive match is on the cards in Laliga on Sunday while Atletico Madrid welcomes Barcelona in the Spanish capital.
The Hansi Flick team sits at the top of the division, one point ahead of Atletico, third, which was in its hood after the action of the Champions League in the middle of the week.
Diego Simeone and Co suffered a grief against the Rivals of Real Madrid, losing penalties and being again dumped by Los Blancos.
And after the post-match explosive press conference of Simeone, there is no doubt that the Argentinian manager will make his players light up for this huge match.
Barcelona has a match in hand on Atletico and a victory at Wanda Metropolitano would put them in a strong position to move away from red and whites in the standings.
And Atletico lost the last time, falling to a 2-1 defeat for Getafe. It was the backhand in their defending chase, but they can renew their ambitions with a victory on Sunday.
But, Barcelona has the best record outside in Laliga this season, collecting 30 points at 14 games on the road.
Flick’s men can still get a triple after their qualification for the Champions League quarter -finals.
In addition to that, visitors won 3-0 during their last trip to Atletico.
