Due to a run of one win in six games, Barcelona has had to give up its lead in La Liga. As such, they will go into Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid on points level with Diego Simeone's side, who have won their last eleven games in all competitions.
It promises to be a fierce clash when Barcelona and Atleti face off, and ahead of the clash at the Estadi Olimpic, the two teams have announced their squads.
Barcelona have made changes to their matchday squad following last weekend's defeat at home to Leganes. Hansi Flick can call on Ansu Fati after an injury, although he will have to do without Hector Fort, who is suffering from a hamstring injury.
In the case of Atleti, Simeone has the luxury of being able to call on any first-team player, as Thomas Lemar has now made his return.
It should be quite a spectacle when Barcelona and Atletico Madrid face off, with both teams desperate for victory in the La Liga title race.
