A win for Diego Simeone's men would see them leapfrog Barça at the top of the standings.
It’s a crucial clash in the race for this season’s La Liga title at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday, as second-place Atlético Madrid hosts current pace-setter Barcelona.
Atlético is just two points behind its visitor as it goes in search of a statement win in its quest for a first La Liga title since 2021. Diego Simeone’s players have lost just once in the league this season, but will need to bounce back following a timid 2-0 defeat away to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
Hansi Flick’s Barça, meanwhile, will be buoyed by an impressive attacking display in its 3-0 midweek UCL win over Premier League side Aston Villa, in a match that saw Brazilian star Raphinha twice. That victory came hot on the heels of a 6-0 La Liga trouncing of Alavés last Saturday, which saw the Blaugrana forward line once again run riot.
Atlético Madrid takes on Barcelona on Sunday, Nov. 8, at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, with kickoff set for 9 p.m. CET. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, an 8 p.m. GMT kickoff in the UK, and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Monday morning.
ESPN once again has the rights to La Liga and is showing all 380 matches on its streaming service, including today’s game.
