OVERVIEW
The stellar match of the thirteenth week of the LA LIGA will be a classic match between two great clubs in Europe.
Atlético and Barcelona will face each other in the Metropolitan Wanda in order to maintain the leadership of the "cules" and snatch them the "colchoneros".
The hosts come to the game with few healthy players in defense, although possibly Savic and Lucas Hernandez can play from the start. In recent years, Simeone's team has only been able to defeat Barsa in the Champions League but needs three points to reach the top of the leaderboard. The Argentine coach will join a team of guarantees with Griezmann and Diego Costa as the main threats to the goal defended by Ter Stegen.
On the other hand, FC Barcelona of Ernesto Valverde will try to make up for the hard defeat in the last league match against Real Betis at Camp Nou. Too much defensive weakness of the azulgrana, who has conceded more goals than in 2/3 of last season. This is an aspect to improve, however in attack they are still devastating, Messi and Suarez don the two top scorers of the competition.
With these arguments I foresee a game more open than usual in their recent clashes. We hope to watch a great show!!
