Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona come into this fixture at a time when one of their most precious feathers has been plucked off. The Catalan giants suffered a disappointing loss to Real Madrid on Saturday in El Clasico, a game that ended their 39-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Although losing is part of football just like winning and drawing are, the most painful thing about Barca’s loss was the fact that it was against their bitter rivals.

Goals from Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo gave the visitors a sweet revenge over the hosts, who had won the first leg of the fixture 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on November 21, 2016. After Los Blancos had proven that indeed Luis Enrique’s men were beatable, this famous win could inspire their city neighbours Atletico Madrid as they prepare to visit the Nou Camp on Tuesday. 

Rojiblancos beat Real Betis 5-1 in their La Liga fixture last weekend as the perfect warm-up for the epic encounter with Luis Enrique’s men.

Barcelona need to win this match, convincingly, in order to prove that Saturday’s Clasico loss was a matter of bad luck, but not the beginning of bad form. If they sit back and let Diego Simeone’s men win this one, their confidence could be affected in their next games, something that could blow the La Liga title wide open if other teams join the bandwagon of giant slayers.

Luis Enrique’s men will however be glad that they have won all of their last six meetings against Simeone’s men, most recently at the end of January this season. Despite their good performance at Nou Camp, Atletico were beaten 2-1 by the Liga table leaders.

One thing for sure is that Atletico seem tougher in the Champions League, and will be hoping to get a surprise win at the same venue where their rivals Real Madrid emerged victorious three days ago. Worst case scenario, should they lose, the visitors need to ensure that they do not concede a lot of goals. In the process, they will leave Catalonia with an away goal while hoping to overturn the results in the reverse fixture at the Vincente Calderon Stadium.
