Atlético de Madrid seeks Christmas summit
Atlético de Madrid faces Barcelona in a crucial match tonight at the Olímpic Lluís Companys. Both teams are tied at the top of the table with 38 points, but Atlético has won 11 consecutive games and has cut 10 points from the Catalan team in recent rounds.
Barcelona, on the other hand, has lost to UD Las Palmas and has had problems at their stadium. The absence of Lamine Yamal is a concern for the team, but it seems that the first option is to maintain the scheme and change piece by piece.
Simeone, who has never won at Barcelona as a visitor, has a tendency to protect himself and his bet will probably be conservative at the start of the game. In attack, Julián and Griezmann will be the starters. The result of the game will decide who goes on vacation happily. Madrid waits.
