Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid away at the Metropolitano Stadium. In an all-important La Liga clash between two teams presently vying for the title, both sides will go all out to secure the essential three points.
However, at the end of the match, some terrible news came for Atletico Madrid and Diego Simeone. As SPORT reported, Angel Correa turned 30 today and was sent off in Atletico Madrid’s crucial clash against Getafe.
According to the referee’s report of the incident, the Argentinian forward used some strong language, and the case could result in more than just a one-game punishment. Instead, the player might face a multi-game suspension.
Alexander Sorloth may be Simeone’s sole viable attacking option on the bench against Barcelona in the forthcoming La Liga match. However, he does have a strong record against La Blaugrana after his recent equaliser in the 4-4 draw during the Copa del Rey first-leg semi-final clash.
Atletico Madrid have slipped to third position in the La Liga standings following their surprise defeat to Getafe and their local rivals narrow escape against Rayo Vallecano. Barcelona has an outstanding match due to the strange and saddened passing away of the club’s doctor.
