Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will play each other three times in just over a month in the Copa del Rey and LALIGA 👀

FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid are set to face each other three times within a span of just over a month, encompassing both the Copa del Rey semifinals and a crucial LaLiga fixture. The Copa del Rey semifinal draw has paired these two football giants, with the first leg scheduled at Barcelona’s Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on February 25, 2025, and the return leg at Atlético’s Metropolitano Stadium on April 2, 2025.

Between these cup clashes, the teams will meet in a pivotal LaLiga match on March 16, 2025, at the Metropolitano Stadium. This league encounter is particularly significant as the current standings are tightly contested, with Real Madrid leading by just one point over Atlético and two points over Barcelona.

The upcoming fixtures promise intense competition, especially considering Atlético’s recent 2-1 victory over Barcelona in December 2024 at Montjuïc. Both teams are in strong form, with Barcelona on an 11-game unbeaten streak and Atlético closely challenging for the top spot in LaLiga. These matches will not only influence the Copa del Rey finalists but could also have a significant impact on the LaLiga title race.
