Barcelona are edging closer to being considered as La Liga champions before Christmas. They have proved unstoppable with 14 wins from 15 games. In fact, no team has ever had a better start than them in La Liga’s history. Sunday’s clash against Atletico Madrid is already drawing enormous attention from the public and the media. 

Lionel Messi is two strikes short of hitting 90 goals in 2012. Atletico’s defence will have to be wary of the man who is fresh from scoring a brace against Cordoba in midweek. Victory for hosts Barcelona will most likely force Atletico and champions Real Madrid to give up chasing the 2012/13 La Liga trophy. 

 

Talking about the Spanish giants, they will have a difficult task at home to Espanyol a couple of hours before the Blaugrana’s game. While the race for title is gradually becoming a one-team affair, the fight for Champions League and Europa League spots is extremely tight with Malaga, Real Betis, Levante and Getafe seriously contesting each other. Likewise, survival at the bottom of the table sees no less than five clubs in danger.
