Good evening everybody and welcome to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through the LaLiga clash between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona from the Estadio Metropolitano.
With only a single point separating them in the standings, this matchup could dramatically shift the balance in the race for Spanish football's ultimate prize.
Barcelona currently lead the league, sitting atop the table and narrowly ahead of Atletico, who are third but with a game in hand. Both sides head into Sunday's clash following emotional and draining Champions League ties earlier in the week -- with Atletico Madrid suffering heartbreak against city rivals Real Madrid in a tense penalty shootout, while Barcelona advanced past Benfica in impressive style.
Despite their continental woes, Atleti have been formidable at home this season, boasting 34 points from 14 matches, making them one of the toughest teams to beat at their fortress. However, they are coming off a surprise 2-1 defeat to Getafe, a loss that added urgency to Sunday's must-win game.
On the other hand, Barcelona enter this clash buoyed by their Champions League quarter-final qualification, having dispatched Benfica 3-1 earlier this week. Hansi Flick's side are also fighting on multiple fronts -- eyeing a potential treble -- and will look to solidify their grip on the top of the table before the international break.
Barcelona have already been involved in two dramatic games against Atletico this season: a 2-1 loss in the reverse league fixture and a 4-4 thriller in the Copa del Rey first leg.
