I still don't understand what is happening to Barcelona, they are superior against the strong teams, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Dortmund have been their victims this season, but they are weak against the small teams. Facing Atletico is a tough challenge for Barcelona, they are certain to be without Lamine Yamal who suffered a right ankle injury against Leganes. Lewandowski also appeared limp when his team lost to Leganes, this condition is very disadvantageous when facing Atletico who have won 6 consecutive games in La Liga.
Maybe some of the factors that made Barcelona look so weak in their last match were due to fatigue which caused the team's performance to decline slightly. Facing Atletico Madrid will certainly be a little more difficult without Lamine Yamal and may force Barcelona to appear more careful. Atletico Madrid are on a positive trend so facing them in their current condition will be a big challenge. Barcelona must win the match if they want to stay in first place in the standings, but if you look at the opportunities, maybe a draw is much more likely to happen because Atletico Madrid are also in a fairly favorable condition.
