Coming in fresh off of a 3-1 midweek Champions League win over German giants Borussia Dortmund, La Liga-leading Barcelona is thriving heading into the weekend with star-striker Antoine Griezmann visiting his old club, Atletico Madrid for the first time in Barca colors on Sunday.
Though Barcelona sits atop of the La Liga table, it’s only by goal differential heading into the weekend while Atletico sits in fourth, but only three points behind, making Sunday’s showdown critical for Barca’s campaign to win its third consecutive league title.
Also on Sunday, Budesliga-leading Borussia Moenchengladbach hosts fourth-placed Freiburg as it carries a one point lead over Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig before the weekend action begins.
Elsewhere, quarterfinal second-leg matchups of Liga MX playoff action roll on in Mexico, headlined by Sunday’s matchups of Club America vs Tigres, and Santos Laguna vs Monterrey.
