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.
I don't even think about a draw when Barcelona hosts Atletico Madrid in the next match because with an opponent who is not strong enough Barcelona can lose narrowly, namely when hosting Leganes. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, who are currently in quite good condition, will clearly put quite a lot of pressure on Barcelona to achieve the draw. And on the one hand, Atletico Madrid will also be quite enthusiastic to be able to win at Barcelona's home in order to be able to move up to first place after the match is over. So Atletico Madrid will play very well for that even though Barcelona will play very carefully in the match.
Atletico Madrid certainly has a very big motivation in the match this weekend against Barcelona because if they are able to win the match then Atletico Madrid will replace Barcelona at the top of the La Liga standings.
However, Barcelona is not a team that is easy to beat even though their performance is currently slumping, especially Barcelona will play at home, of course they want to rise to maintain their position.
In the last few matches, the Barcelona team has had a lot of problems because some of their main players were injured and that had a big impact on the team's performance, but I think with the strength they have, they can rise at any time, so the match this weekend against Atletico Madrid will be very interesting and difficult for both teams.
