The biggest game of the afternoon features two major Spanish clubs, with Barcelona facing Atletico Madrid in the capital. Barcelona could open up a seven-point lead in La Liga if they win in Madrid, after Real Madrid’s loss to Mallorca.
Things are a bit different for Atletico Madrid, whose priority is the Champions League match against this same rival next Wednesday. Their biggest absentee is Jan Oblak, who is injured.
This could be a huge match for Barcelona, as they could nearly clinch the title with a win in Madrid. For this one, Raphinha appears to be the biggest absence after the muscle injury he suffered while with Brazil.
