The Spanish league's top two teams after Real Madrid face off on Sunday, with Barcelona looking to extend their lead over Atletico Madrid. But can Atleti overcome their midweek Champions League heartbreak and fatigue to cause an upset?
Barcelona's Winning streak
Barcelona are on fire, with six consecutive league wins. They've also been solid on the road, unbeaten in their last six away games. With 18 wins from 26 games, they're the team to beat.
Atletico's tough task
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are struggling with fatigue. Their midweek Champions League exit to Real Madrid went to extra-time and penalties, leaving them physically and mentally drained. Can they recover in time to take on Barcelona?
Head-to-head
Atletico Madrid have already beaten Barcelona 2-1 this season, and also drew 4-4. They'll need to dig deep to find that same spirit and energy to take on the league leaders.
