Barcelona Lineup vs Atletico Madrid OUT; Can Pedri Lead His Team to Victory Against Atletico?

FC Barcelona will take on Atlético Madrid in a matchday 15 fixture of the 2025/26 La Liga EA Sports. The Blaugrana are now at the top of the table with 34 points, just a point ahead of archrivals Real Madrid. The Los Blancos dropped three points in their last three games, handing Barcelona the lead once again, just like last season. Barca took full advantage of Real's slip-up, as they bagged maximum points against the likes of Elche, Celta Vigo, Athletic Bilbao, and Deportivo Alaves. Hansi Flick mentioned that Eric Garcia should make it to the Barcelona lineup for this game, even though he was replaced at halftime in the game against Alaves. Eric's knock was a hard one, but the German manager believes that the Spaniard will not have much of a problem recovering from it.

Atletico Madrid sit fourth in the table and will be looking to boost their title charge after having a slow start to the season. Simeone's men have turned it around in time after their loss against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League and now look their best version of themselves. With a win and a better goal difference, they can even surpass their city rivals to go second in the league. Diego Simeone revealed that despite Jan Oblak's return from injury, it will be he who will decide if Musso deserves to get the nod ahead of the veteran goalkeeper in such a crucial game.

The Barcelona lineup comprises players who can change the course of the match at any given moment. Atletico, too, have players in store who can give their blood and sweat for the entire 90 minutes without fail.
