La Liga match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will be played at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain.

Atletico Madrid team news
Heading into this crucial showdown, Atletico Madrid will be without the services of Angel Correa, who saw red late on in last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Getafe. Koke remains a doubt, while Rodrigo De Paul will undergo further assessment after picking up a knock against Los Blancos, though the Argentine is expected to be fit in time.
Nahuel Molina could be the only change from the side that started the Champions League clash, likely replacing Marcos Llorente, while Conor Gallagher looks set to retain his spot in midfield.
Barcelona team news
On the visitor's side, both Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain sidelined with long-term knee issues, but Andreas Christensen has returned to full fitness and could be included in the squad. Flick faces some selection dilemmas, particularly in central defence, where Inigo Martinez may be the one to make way. In midfield, Dani Olmo could be preferred over Gavi in the playmaker role.
Up front, the attacking trio of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski are expected to lead the charge once again, while Frenkie de Jong is likely to get the nod ahead of Marc Casado. With a wealth of quality options on the bench, Barcelona will have plenty of firepower at their disposal for this high-stakes clash in the title race.
Barca look in fine form as Hansi Flick continues to impress during his first season in charge of the club and they sealed progress into the Champions League quarter-finals with a win against Benfica earlier this week.
Atletico, meanwhile, endured heartbreak at the hands of Real once again. Julian Alvarez’s penalty in their Champions League last-16 shootout was controversially ruled out by VAR after kicking the ball twice.
One of the weekend’s most anticipated clashes features Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, with high stakes in both La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Their thrilling 4-4 draw in the first leg set the stage for another intense battle.
Barcelona enter the match fresh off a convincing Champions League win over Benfica, while Atletico shift their full focus to La Liga after a grueling series loss to Real Madrid. With two powerhouse squads and a fierce title race, fans can expect a high-quality showdown between two of Spain’s best.
Atlético Madrid is the only team Barcelona have played twice without a win during the Hansi Flick era. Alexander Sørloth's two stoppage time goals at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys this season have seen Atleti escape with a win in the reverse fixture La Liga and a draw in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey semifinals.
Now, Barcelona will travel to the Metropolitano for the first time this season for their third meeting, hoping that third time's a charm as they look to build a four point gap to Atlético in the title race.
It's been a tough week for Diego Simeone's men. A loss against Getafe in La Liga last weekend meant they couldn't take advantage of Barcelona having their game postponed to go top of the league, instead they fell to third. Then, another heartbreaking exit from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid could heavily impact the team's morale heading into the crucial Barça visit.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are flying high. Fresh off punching their ticket to the Champions League quarterfinals, in the midst of a six-game La Liga winning streak, and with an almost entirely healthy squad. Flick's men will look to continue the great form going into the international break.
