It’s the shock of the day. FC Barcelona travels to Atlético de Madrid this Saturday at 9 p.m. for the 30th day of La Liga, a match to follow live on our site. After Real Madrid’s defeat against Mallorca earlier today (2-1), Hansi Flick’s men must win to take an even greater lead and move closer to the title. They must also prepare before finding this same Atlético in the Champions League.

To do this, the German technician aligned a 4-2-3-1 with Olmo at the forefront accompanied by Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez and Rashford. The midfield is made up of Pedri and Eric Garcia, who replaces De Jong who is still recovering from his injury. On the Atlético side, Griezmann starts in front of Simeone, Almada and Baena. Clément Lenglet plays the position of central defender with Le Normand.

The official compositions:

Atlético de Madrid: Musso – Molina, Le Normand, Lenglet, Gonzalez – Koke, Vargas – Simeone, Baena, Almada – Griezmann.

FC Barcelona: Joan Garcia – Araujo, Cubarsí, Martin, Cancelo – Eric, Pedri – Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Rashford – Olmo.
