From the source
It goes without saying that a match against Barcelona carries significant weight in the league for Atlético de Madrid. As we enter match week 12 of La Liga, Atlético (9-1-1, 28 points) sit just two points from Barcelona (10-0-1, 30 points).
A win for Atlético would see Diego Simeone’s men leapfrog Barcelona into first place. Conversely, a Barcelona win would give the Blaugrana a five-point cushion at the top of the table going into the international break.
Atleti also would risk falling behind Real Madrid (9-0-2, 27 points), who visit struggling Valencia on Saturday night. Atlético de Madrid have won their last seven games in La Liga, with their most recent win coming against Levante last weekend.
