Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona LIVE

Two title rivals face off tonight at the Wanda Metropolitano as third hosts second in La Liga, in a game which has not ended in a stalemate in the league in almost four years. Goals should be guaranteed tonight and Real Madrid, who won at Villarreal last night to move three points clear at the top, will be watching on.

Atleti will be licking their wounds after an agonising Champions League exit on penalties to their cross-city rivals, but cannot afford to dwell on the defeat as they look to leapfrog Barca in that Liga table. Hansi Flick’s side, meanwhile, are still on the hunt for a treble this season.

The hosts will be without the suspended Angel Correa, while both Koke and Rodrigo De Paul will be assessed with late fitness tests. Dani Olmo is pushing to start ahead of Gavi for Barca with Flick set to make a number of big calls for this clash. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
