Atletico Madrid host Barcelona at Estadio Metropolitano on Sunday with LaLiga's title race heating up with Hansi Flick's side top of the table but just a single point ahead of Diego Simeone's men before this one.

Barcelona visit Atlético de Madrid in a pivotal match in the La Liga title race before the international break.

Atletico is a point behind both Barcelona and Madrid in the three-way fight for the trophy, with Barca having played a game less. So Diego Simeone’s team can hardly afford to lose on Sunday, but must quickly get over another excruciating defeat to its fierce crosstown rival in the Champions League on Wednesday.
