Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona
La Liga 2018/19
Venue: Wanda Metropolitano
Date: Saturday, 24 November, 2018
Kick-off: 7:45pm GMT

Atletico Madrid can blow the title race wide open on Saturday night as they welcome Barcelona to the Spanish capital.

Just four points separate table-toppers Barca from sixth-placed Real Madrid after a dramatic start to the 2018-19 season, and the champions' shock 4-3 home defeat to Real Betis before the international break has given the rest of the division hope.

Saturday's match will throw together a contrast of styles: Atletico have been tight at the back but hit-and-miss in front of goal, while Barca have scored at least 10 more than any other La Liga club but can't seem to keep the ball out of the net.
