The final international break of the season is upon us as we gear up for the stretch run of club football in Europe, but before the last two-week international window of the 2023-24 campaign there is a monster game for Barcelona to play this weekend as the Catalans travel to the Spanish capital to meet Atlético Madrid in a crucial La Liga clash at the Cívitas Metropolitano.
Barça come into this one in good spirits after advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals with a win over Napoli, and the Blaugrana need to ensure a Top 4 finish in the league before they can fully focus on the two meetings against Paris Saint-Germain next month.
