A gigantic collision in La Liga will be staged in La Liga on Sunday evening when Barcelona visits Atletico Madrid.
The two sides are only separated by a single point, as they would compete with the common enemy Real Madrid for La Liga and the victory would mark a considerable shift of the cover picture for both. It is an integral part that generally went in favor of Barcelona in the last seasons, although they did not win this season of both meetings.
After La Blaugrana celebrated the progression of the Champions of the Champions League, he will start at a high at March International Break. Hansi Flicks side, who will be back on Atleti in Copa del Rey in early April, is considered even larger title favorites if you were to win at the Metropolitano.
Atleti will use the heartbreaking Champions League mood with the City -Rival Real Madrid on Wednesday as a fuel for your La Liga boost, whereby the fire is likely to roar for Barca’s visit. They are the only team that was beaten at home in the league this season and only gave eight times in 14 games in front of their own followers.
Here is 90 minutes Leader for a huge fight in Spain.

Angel Correas 88th minute Red Card against Getafe Last weekend proved to be twice. Atleti collapsed for a 2-1 defeat and the striker is now suspended for Barcelona’s visit. Koke is expected to connect to the Argentinian on the edge when he fights against a muscle injury.
Rodrigo de Paul was replaced with a knock on Wednesday during the European defeat, but that may be due to tiredness rather than serious injuries. He is expected to be suitable for the collision on Sunday.
Reinildo was replaced another replaced by injuries during the week, and the Mozambique national player could be replaced in the line -up either by Cesar Azpilicueta or Javi Galan.
After the Side Simeone determined 120 strenuous minutes in a Madrid derby in a Madrid derby a few days ago, he will be tried to change his team. Nahuel Molina, Robin Le Normand and Samuel Lino are among those who could come to the XI.
Atletico predicted the line-up against Barcelona (4-4-2): Oblak; Molina, Gienez, Le Normand, Galan; Simeone, de Paul, Barrios, Lino; Griezmann, Alvarez.
Barca enjoyed a much simpler European evening when Benfica and Flick for the team, which triumphed over the Lisbon giant, could only make a change. Pau Comatarsi, who was suspended for the duel of the middle of the week, should replace Inigo Martinez in Center-Back.
Elsewhere it is expected that it is the same list that Benfica defeated, with only Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen and Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the treatment room.
Barcelona predicted the line-up against Atletico (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Comatarsi, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski.
It is unlikely that the encounter on Sunday is as open or destiny as the 4: 4-Copa del Rey-Uteschieden at the end of February, but it will almost certainly be fought just as much.
Both sides know the potential effects of the profit or loss of such an important title fight and they will be desperate to defeat all costs. This could play in the hands of Real Madrid, who hopes that the prey on the metropolitano will be shared.
Atletico’s excellent home record means that victory for Barca looks difficult, but the Catalan giants should at least secure one point.
