For Barcelona, goals were scored by Torres (9', 25'), Lamine Yamal (87') and Marcus Rashford (89'). Espanyol got 10 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.

🗞️ Team News: Atlético Madrid
We are thinking that Atleti could opt for a 4-4-2 formation for this game and select Juan Musso, Nahuel Molina, Robin Le Normand, Clement Lenglet, Matteo Ruggeri, Giuliano Simeone, Marcos Llorente, Koke, Ademola Lookman, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.
📰 Team News: Barcelona
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has to currently contend with reduced team options. Raphinha (Hamstring injury) and Andreas Christensen (Ligament tear) will miss out on this game. Pau Cubarsí will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.We are inclined to think that Barça will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Joan Garcia, Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Gerard Martin, Joao Cancelo, Eric Garcia, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski.
⚡ Prediction
In our view, Atlético Madrid have the ability to find the net against this Barcelona lineup, although one goal is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re going for a very close game with a 1-2 victory for Barcelona after 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.

يدخل Atlético Madrid المباراة بعد سلسلة نتائج متذبذبة، حيث خسر مباراته الأخيرة أمام إشبيلية 2-1 رغم استحواذه الكبير. مباريات الفريق مؤخرًا شهدت أهدافًا كثيرة، إذ سجل واستقبل 23 هدفًا في آخر 6 مباريات. في المقابل، يعيش FC Barcelona فترة قوية بعد فوزه 4-1 على إسبانيول، وسجل 19 هدفًا في آخر 6 مباريات بمعدل تهديفي مرتفع.

في المواجهات المباشرة، يتفوق برشلونة نسبيًا بـ4 انتصارات مقابل 2 لأتلتيكو، دون أي تعادل، مما يعكس تقارب المستوى بين الفريقين. من المتوقع أن يعتمد أتلتيكو على خطة 4-4-2 بقيادة Antoine Griezmann وJulián Álvarez، بينما سيلعب برشلونة بطريقة 4-2-3-1 مع نجوم مثل Pedri وRobert Lewandowski، رغم غيابات مؤثرة مثل رافينيا وكريستنسن.

🔮 التوقع: مباراة متقاربة وقوية، لكن الأفضلية تميل لبرشلونة، مع توقع فوز صعب بنتيجة 2-1 بعد 90 دقيقة. ⚽🔥
