Four days after his elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Real Madrid (0-1, 1-0, Tab 2-4), Atlético Madrid receives FC Barcelona at Metropolitano this Sunday evening. This shock of the 28th day of Liga could be decisive in the title race in Spain.

Indeed, the men of Diego Simeone are a delay of four points on Real Madrid, leader of the championship, and from one point on Barça, second. With two less games for the Catalans and one late for the Colchoneros, the outcome of this meeting could rebound the cards. An issue of which the Argentinian coach is well aware and he intends to exploit.

Atlético's clear objective

“It is always important to maintain a gap depending on the rest of the season”El Cholo said in front of the media. “As far as we are concerned, we must win or draw to keep this gap which is not so tall. If Barça wins, he will go to the title. »»

As a reminder, the first leg had resulted in a victory for Atlético over the lawn of the Blaugranas (2-1) in December. It remains to be seen whether the Madrid training will be able to reissue this performance on its land.
