Atletico Madrid against Barcelona: Comment before the game, analysis, more

15 minutes to start: The biggest problem for Barcelona in the last two meetings is the inability to finish. They were the better side for most of the game, but allowed Atleti to keep mistakes at the end of the game and to benefit from mistakes.

30 minutes to start: The last two games between these two sides were thriller-atleti won 2-1 in the reverse League game, while they ended 4: 4 in their second leg in Copa del Rey.

For Atleti, the two changes turned from the middle of the week for Samuel Lino, which was often played between Europe and league, while the same applies to Robin Le Normand, who comes back to Captain Jose Maria Gimenez.

1 hour 15 minutes to kick: Barcelona will wear his green third kit today!

1 hour 30 minutes to kick: None of these teams are the lead for the title La Liga, but both will have seen Real Madrid and know that they have a chance. None of the three teams felt safe in this race, so it will be a battle to the end.

Atleti now has the advantage of concentrating exclusively on domestic chase because they are not from Europe, but it is a bit early to make it another factor.

1 hour 45 minutes to kick: Atletico Mardid was painfully unloaded from the Champions League during the week, and most of them took it intensely. But this morning, before today's game, club president Enrique Cerezo made the decision at the end of the game about the Julian Alvarez penalty.
