Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona Team News

Last time out in the UEFA Champions League, Atletico Madrid were deprived of maximum points against Serie A giants Juventus with Argentina international Paulo Dybala bagging the only goal of the game to condemn Diego Simeone’s men to defeat on away soil.

They proved a stubborn opposition however, registering as many shots on target as their Italian counterparts in the match-up but failed to find a way past the resilient Wojciech Szczesny in goal.

Though they headed back home empty-handed, they will take pride in the way they made Juventus dig really deep to finally get the win.

In the domestic league, Los Colchoneros have not been faring so well, boasting of a single win from their previous four clashes. Three of those games were on the road, showing that Atleti have not really had it easy on their travels.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are running riot in the league, currently on a stellar three-game winning streak. Their last game in Europe saw them dispatch Borussia Dortmund with relative ease posting a comfortable 3-1 score-line on the scoreboard. Prior to that exciting Champions League game, they saw off Leganes by a narrow 2-1 margin.

Though, the Blaugrana have been on an impressive run of form this season, it goes without saying that the likes of Lionel Messi, Griezmann and Suarez have found it difficult to hit the ground running in away games. The visitors have dropped points in four of their last seven outings in the league, and have amassed no more than ten points from a possible twenty-one on the road.

In contrast, the hosts are yet to taste defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano this season and have been recording back-to-back wins in their past two games on this ground.
