Barcelona

Barcelona will be without Rodri for the trip to Atlético Madrid, with a minor hamstring injury ruling out the midfielder after four starts in the last five matches. Pedri and Marc Bernal are expected to play in midfield in his absence, with Fermín López, who has provided five assists over that run, continuing further forward.

There are two more choices for Hansi Flick: Frenkie de Jong or Gerard Martín in central defence alongside Pau Cubarsí, and Karim Adeyemi or Anthony Gordon on the left of the front three. Raphinha is expected to retain his place after scoring five goals in his last four starts.
