FC Barcelona V/s Atletico Madrid- A Preview

Okay, so I am not that great at Football and thus with sheer luck I got this preview written by my friend. 


17th May 2015

Venue: Vicente Calderon, Madrid.

Atletico Madrid, Spanish champions of last season host the current leaders FC Barcelona on 17th of May.
FC Barcelona's win will ensure them the LaLiga crown while Atletico Madrid want to stay in 3rd place.
FC Barcelona has been successful in beating Atletico Madrid thrice this season.
The last time these two met in LaLiga resulted in a 3-1 Barcelona win, courtesy of goals from Neymar Suarez and Messi who now are also the deadliest trio in Europe.


However, Suarez, is doubtful for the game as he suffer from Hamstring injury.

 He was substituted during Half-time in secondleg of Champions league match against FC Bayern Munchen.
Atletico, with the genius Diego Simeone, has the firepower to defeat Barca. They defend well and can hit on the break. They are also brilliant in set-pieces.

On the other hand, Barcelona without Suarez, is going to have a difficult time on the pitch. But they are motivated and have the momentum with them. They are just 4 games away from winning the TREBLE again which no club in the history has ever achieved.

Atletico kept a clean sheet in each of their last 6 home games.
Barcelona scored in each of their last 15 away games.
So who's going to win the game? Can Atletico restrict Barca from winning the league at Calderon?
Can Barca cope without Suarez? Can Messi and Co. beat Atletico?

The match begins at 10:30 P.M (IST)
