Atlético de Madrid - FC Barcelona (LaLiga)

On 8 November, at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Atlético de Madrid will host Barcelona in a La Liga match. It will be a meeting between two clubs with very different styles of play which, for many years, have regularly been among the leading contenders for the top positions in the Spanish championship.

For Atlético, the match is particularly interesting because it is at home: the team will play before its supporters in a stadium with a capacity of more than 70,000 spectators. Barcelona face one of their away matches of the season in Madrid, where the result may be decisive for both teams' positions in the standings.

Matches between Atlético and Barcelona rarely pass without a fierce contest for the ball and space. Both teams know each other very well, so particular moves and the coaches' tactical decisions may be more important than the number of attacks. The match is scheduled for Sunday 8 November, although the exact date and time may still change.
