Barcelona will travel to the Spanish capital for another crucial La Liga game against Atletico Madrid on Sunday night. The match between Atletico and Barca will be played at Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium. Barcelona are coming into this game after a shocking 0-3 thumping by Portuguese team Benfica in the UEFA Champions League match and they cannot afford any more slip-ups.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid are placed at the fourth spot in the La Liga table with four victories under this belt in seven games.
The match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will kick off at 12:30 am (IST) on Sunday.
