Barcelona 5-0 Atletico Madrid managed to slaughter at the first meeting of the two teams this season at the Nou Camp last September. Lionel Messi was the star thanks to a hat-tricknya field.
Two seasons ago was the last time Atletico beat Barcelona in La Liga, precisely in February 2010. At that time Barcelona defeated 1-2 at the Vicente Calderon.
Atletico currently sit in 6th with 32 points from 23 games, just one point adrift of the top four standings. Last Atletico drew 1-1 against Sporting Gijon.
Last three games in La Liga Atletico end in a draw. Atletico are unbeaten in all competitions since coach Diego Simeone.
5-1 victory over Valencia at the weekend and then prove that the fleet could soon rise Pep Guardiola after losing to Osasuna in the previous week. However, a great score on Los Che's remains questionable given the duel at the Camp Nou, the area where Barca have not even touched his opponents in the competition sepuruh 11/12.
Therefore, Calderon will actually be a strength test arena and the rise of the real Barca. Understandably, if at Camp Nou their 11-1-0 record from 11 games, in just a 4-5-2 record away from home.
