Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid lineups, team news
Barcelona will be without Marc Bernal and Marc-André ter Stegen once again, as both players continue recovering from long-term knee injuries. However, Andreas Christensen is now available for selection and could return to the squad.
Hansi Flick faces some key selection decisions, particularly in central defense, where Íñigo Martínez may be the one to miss out. Meanwhile, Dani Olmo could be preferred over Gavi in the No. 10 role.
The attacking trio of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski is set to lead the line once again, while Frenkie de Jong is expected to start ahead of Marc Casado. With a deep bench at their disposal, Barcelona will have plenty of firepower for the title showdown.
Barcelona predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Szczesny (GK) — Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde — De Jong, Pedri — Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha — Lewandowski
Injured: Marc Bernal, Marc-André ter Stegen, Íñigo Martínez (doubtful)
Suspended: None.
Atletico Madrid will be without Ángel Correa for their crucial clash against Barcelona after the forward received a red card in the closing moments of their recent 2-1 loss to Getafe. His absence forces Diego Simeone to make at least one adjustment to his squad.
Midfield concerns also loom over the team, with Koke’s availability uncertain and Rodrigo De Paul requiring a late fitness check following a knock sustained in the Madrid derby.
A potential change in the lineup could see Nahuel Molina replacing Marcos Llorente, while Conor Gallagher is likely to maintain his place in the starting XI.
Atletico Madrid predicted XI (4-4-2, right to left): Oblak (GK) — Molina, Gimenez, Lenglet, Reinildo — Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher — Griezmann, Alvarez.
Injured: Koke (muscle). De Paul (knock – doubt)
Suspended: Correa
