Barcelona’s final game before the international break is a big one as the La Liga leaders face Atlético Madrid in a huge clash with title implications at the Metropolitano.
Barça and Atlético’s rivalry heated up in the summer due to the Julián Álvarez saga, and this encounter is one of the most anticipated of the season so far.
Hansi Flick will be without his top midfielder as Rodri has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, and his replacement is yet to be decided as Frenkie de Jong and Marc Bernal are in contention to start at the pivot spot.
