Riyadh Air Metropolitano - Madrid
Atlético de Madrid won their last LaLiga game vs Barcelona 2-1 in the reverse fixture this season, having lost their previous five against them beforehand; they have not won both games in a single campaign in the competition against the Blaugranas since 2005/06.
After enjoying consecutive wins without conceding at home against Barcelona in LaLiga in 2020 and 2021, Atlético de Madrid have lost their last two games at Riyadh Air Metropolitano vs the Blaugranas in the competition without scoring – on only one occasion have they gone three or more home games without scoring against Barcelona in the top-flight (4 in 1968).
Barcelona have avoided defeat in their last three away games vs Madrid sides in LaLiga (W2 D1), all under Hans-Dieter Flick, while they have not done so in four successive away games vs such sides since December 2019 under Ernesto Valverde (G7 W6 D1).
Atlético de Madrid have not lost any of their 14 home games in LaLiga in 2024/25 (W10 D4) – the last time they did not lose any of their first 15 home games in a campaign in the competition was in 2017/18 (G17 W12 D5).
Barcelona have won each of their last six LaLiga games, keeping a clean sheet in four of them, this after having won just one of their previous eight in the competition beforehand (D3 L4).
