Preview | Atlético de Madrid vs. FC Barcelona

LaLiga returns with a blockbuster match-up

This Saturday at 21:00 CEST, we face off against FC Barcelona on Matchday 30 of LaLiga.

When the game kicks off this Saturday at 21:00 CEST, it will mark the beginning of three encounters with FC Barcelona over the next few days. This weekend's match corresponds to Matchday 30 of LaLiga and the following two to the quarter-final tie of the UEFA Champions League.

Following the international break, we return to domestic competition with a blockbuster match at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Diego Simeone's men come into the fixture with a string of good results at home, following recent wins in LaLiga against Real Sociedad and Getafe.

Barcelona arrive at our stadium after beating Rayo Vallecano at the Camp Nou with a goal from Araújo. They currently lead LaLiga with 73 points.

The most recent fixture that we had against the Catalan side was this March, when we visited Barcelona to play the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final. In that game we lost 3-0, but we managed to secure our tickets to the grand final at La Cartuja on 18 April.

The last time that Hansi Flick's men visited the Riyadh Air Metropolitano was in February to play the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final. We won that match 4-0 with goals from Griezmann, Lookman, and Julián Alvarez, as well as an Eric García own goal.
