Atletico Madrid host Barcelona at the Vicente
Calderon in a top of the table clash tonight. The former have the the best
defensive record in la liga . Barca boost the best attack.
So far both sides are level on points with just goal difference separating them after 19 matches, with Real Madrid 5 points behind. The match also marks
the return of Lionel Messi to La liga, who has been out for 2 months with a
thigh injury. Although he scored two goals in midweek in a cameo against Getafe in the Copa de Rey
at the Nou Camp. In his absence, the duo of Fabregas, Alexis Sanchez, Pedro and
Neymar have formed a prolific patternship.
Tito Martino, Barca's manager has an interesting decision to
make as regards Messi who is not yet match fit. Whether he starts on the bench
or from the kick off remains to be known.
Diego Simeone on the other hand has no such headache, as his
charges led by the awesome Diego Costa are well into their stride.
It promises to be a fascinating battle between la-liga's top
two.
