Atletico Madrid will travel to Barcelona's headquarters, however, Atletico are overshadowed by their bad record at the Camp Nou. Los Rojiblancos have always failed to win in 14 away meetings against Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga. They recorded 10 defeats and four draws.
That is the longest never winning streak against a single team in this competition. Atletico's last win at the Camp Nou was in February 2006, while still being coached by Pepe Murcia. Therefore, Simeone is aiming for an inaugural victory at the Camp Nou. Simeone realizes that Barcelona is now being trained by a coach who is doing his job well. Ronald Koeman is considered to have turned things around from the first half of this season, which did not go well for Barcelona.
The club from the Spanish capital secured the domestic title after avoiding defeat against Barcelona in 2014. Although Simeone himself is reluctant to compare the current situation with the past. According to him, at that time the La Liga champions had been determined after the match was over. But this time there are still three games after facing Barcelona.
