The entire season for Atletico Madrid could hinge on how they come out of a ten-game run in the Copa del Rey, La Liga and Champions League.

Having lost to Getafe over the weekend, another defeat to Barcelona could put their La Liga title hopes on life support this weekend. In just their second game after the international break, they will again welcome Barcelona to the Metropolitano, in a four-game stretch that could define their fate in all three competitions.
Los Rojiblancos have not looked quite as impressive as they did towards the end of the year, but their 4-4 draw against the Blaugrana in the first leg of the Copa del Rey clash was a statement showing both in terms of their quality, and their personality, coming back from two goals down to rescue a draw. The dynamics will clearly be different in a Liga clash, and however their European derby goes could also impact their approach towards the Barcelona game, both physically and mentally.

Meanwhile, excepting the tragic loss of team doctor Carles Minarro Garcia, Barcelona could barely be coming into this game in better shape. A comfortable 3-1 win over Benfica on Tuesday night in the early game was a show of their strength. Not only could Hansi Flick’s side take their foot off the gas, but they found Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha and Alejandro Balde at their very best. With an extra day of rest, and unbeaten in 17 games, the Blaugrana will likely be favourites.
Atletico Madrid are yet to lose at home this season domestically though, and have conceded just eight times. Diego Simeone, who has been to Montjuic twice and come away with a win and a draw, scoring six times in the process, has shown that he has a handle on Flick’s method. Everything is poised to make this a tantalising encounter.o
How and Where to Buy Tickets to Atletico Madrid-Barcelona
It is no surprise that the demand for tickets to the game is through the roof, as one of the blockbuster encounters remaining this season. The Metropolitano can accommodate 70,000 fans, making it one of the biggest stadiums in Europe, but already the tickets on Atletico Madrid’s website are gone. Equally, there is no way of acquiring tickets from Barcelona’s official channels. Hence, for many fans who are desperate to get to the game, the best available route will be to go through a third-party ticketing website.
