There are still three clubs in the race and no one is allowed to lose points... Yesterday, Real did not easily manage to take three points away... Today will really be a battle between Atletico and Barca, but Barca have a one-game advantage, but that doesn't mean they can play at least a draw... Atletico don't have that chance and they need to win to stay in the race... I think it will be a very interesting match!
The first position in the standings is now occupied by Real Madrid, Barcelona must have the motivation to take over by winning at Atletico headquarters. Barcelona chances of winning this time are very open because they have very good statistics throughout 2025, besides being unbeaten since January, Hansi Flick can field his best squad in this big match.
Atletico unbeaten record in their last 13 home games makes this match even more interesting, besides Atletico who have just been eliminated from the UCL are in dire need of a win to maintain their chances of winning the title. My prediction is based on the impressive records of both teams, most likely this game will end in a draw, but if one of them manages to win, it will likely be by a narrow score.
This is a big match match and would actually be dicey because any side could win but at the same time it might end in a draw that's why I still maintain that it's a dicey game. Yes, Barca is having a superb period of their life especially in this second half of the season, Atletico so far is a fierce force this season in the Metropolitano stadium so the visitors won't really find it that easy in this game.
