Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Match Preview and Team News
Barcelona
In the previous five Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid duels, the team from the Spanish capital won three times. The other two games finished in a draw. The last time Barca defeated this opponent was in 2019. The score was 1-0, and the only goal was scored by Lionel Messi. Unfortunately for Barcelona, Messi is no longer on the team. This explains why this team hasn’t been playing well in the 2021-22 season. The good news for Barcelona is that their squad is going to be much stronger in the remainder of the season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Adama Traoré have signed for Barca during the winter transfer window. Ansu Fati is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, and he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance. Gavi showed that he is a great player, he moves well and cooperates with the attackers, all praise for him.
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid has been without a loss in the Spanish top-flight since the start of the year. They won two games so far while also drawing one. Interestingly, we saw them score a total of 7 goals in those three matches, which is kind of surprising knowing that their total scoring tally is 36 goals. This fact shows that Atletico Madrid works great as a team, which could be their advantage in Sunday’s game. What needs to worry them is that their defense hasn’t been as good as usual. They conceded two goals in each of their previous two games. Still, they do have plenty of amazing defenders on the roster who definitely have the skills to stop Barca from scoring too many goals. Joao Felix enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy. Diego Simeone seeks responsibility in every game, it doesn’t matter who the opponent is, the players have to do their best, which is why he is one of the best coaches in the world.
