VHO - Commentary on the match Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid, round 19 of La Liga, the highlight battle at Camp Nou witnessed the confrontation between the best offense and defense system in the league.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid form

In the Champions League, Barcelona is going through a rather difficult qualifying stage. After 5 matches, the team under coach Hansi Flick has only earned 7 points and dropped to 18th place.

However, in domestic competition, Blaugrana are still maintaining impressive form since the 1-2 defeat in the El Clasico at the end of October.

Barca have won all four of their last matches. Taking advantage of Real Madrid's poor form, the Catalan giants have risen to the top of the table a few days ago, creating a 1-point gap with their arch-rivals in Madrid.

But the top spot that Flick and his team have just regained is facing a huge challenge. To maintain the top spot, the Camp Nou team must win when hosting Atletico Madrid in the early match of round 19. The task promises to be not easy in the context that the guests are also possessing a very sublime face.

The pressure on Lamine Yamal and his teammates is certainly not small. In the worst case scenario, Barcelona could fall all the way to 4th place, replacing Atletico Madrid, if both Real Madrid and Villarreal win.

For their part, Atletico Madrid are of course also determined to win all 3 points despite having to play away against their arch-rivals. The current form of the Madrid team is very impressive. In their last 7 appearances on all fronts, Atletico have won all.

After an excellent 2-1 defeat of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid continued to easily defeat Real Oviedo 2-0.

The victory at the weekend officially brought coach Diego Simeone equal to Real Madrid legend Miguel Munoz in second place in the list of coaches with the most wins in La Liga history (323).

Barcelona won both recent encounters with Atletico

Despite losing 7, drawing 1 and winning only 1 of their last 9 encounters with the Blaugrana, Atletico Madrid reaped sweet results in their visit to their opponents' lair last season. Goals from De Paul and Alexander Sorloth helped the visitors come from behind to win 2-1.

The high-profile clash at Camp Nou marks the battle between the strongest attack and the most solid defense in La Liga this season. With 39 goals, 10 more than the second-placed team, Barca currently possess the most impressive penetrating ability.

On the other hand, despite only scoring 27 goals, Atletico Madrid still makes people talk about themselves because of their Simeone-esque defensive style. After 14 matches, Los Rojiblancos have only conceded 11 goals, the best defensive record in the league.
