LALIGA MATCHDAY 27 | MATCH PREVIEW

Top-of-the-table clash in the Camp Nou

Our side will face Barcelona in an important clash that will define the rest of the 2017-2018 LaLiga season.

The most important match of the LaLiga season thus far is here. Our side will face Barcelona in a top-of-the-table clash that could well define the rest of the 2017-18 season. Kick-off is set for 4:15 p.m. CET.

Barça are currently league leaders and five points ahead of our side in the table. If we manage a win, the distance up top will drop down to just two points making the league title fight an interesting one.

Atleti comes to the match in fine form, after finishing February in the most perfect manner. Of seven matches our side won all seven. In our last two games, we've scored nine goals. Meanwhile, Barcelona have had a less than stellar February. The Catalan side finished the month undefeated, just like us, but drew three matches.

Atleti have been working hard this week to prepare for the match and Diego Pablo Simeone believes our side is ready.

 "We’re going to face a team that’s having a fantastic season and the match will be decided, like all of the times we’ve faced Barcelona, by details," Simeone said.
