How will Barcelona line up against Atlético Madrid?

Following a two-week international break where most of the squad stayed home and trained together, Barcelona return to action to start a huge month with one of the biggest games of the season against Atlético Madrid at Camp Nou.

February is a make-or-break month for Barça, with four crucial La Liga games and the two Europa League Playoff ties against Napoli over the next three weeks. The January transfer window brought some important reinforcements and the squad is relatively healthy, so Xavi Hernández will be able to select strong teams for all six games.

Even though there will be 16 matches left in the league season after this weekend, this is a truly massive game for Barça’s Top 4 hopes.
