Atletico Madrid

The "Mattress Makers" unpleasantly surprised last weekend when they suffered a defeat away to modest Cadiz, who are fighting to retain their place in La Liga. This loss halted the capital team's streak of three matches without defeat. Currently, Diego Simeone's team continues to hold the fourth position in the La Liga table, two points ahead of Athletic Bilbao. It's quite possible that the defeat to Cadiz was a consequence of Atletico's focus on the match against Inter in the Champions League. Simeone's proteges won that match 2-1 and then prevailed in the penalty shootout.

Barcelona

The "Blaugrana" defeated Mallorca at home in the previous round. The winning goal for the Catalans was scored by 16-year-old Yamal Lamine in the 73rd minute. This victory marked their third win in the last four La Liga matches. Overall, Barcelona remains undefeated in all competitions for nine consecutive matches. Currently, Barcelona occupies the third place in the league table, trailing Girona by one point and Real Madrid by eight. Midweek, the Catalan giants dealt with Napoli in the Champions League. After a draw in Naples, the "Blaugrana" defeated their opponent in the capital of Catalonia with a score of 3-1.
