Barcelona and Atletico Madrid square off in La Liga this weekend in a preview of their series in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Barcelona took on Atletico Madrid in the first of their three games set to be played in ten days last night, and the result was far harder than one would have expected.

Real Madrid enters Saturday on a run of five straight wins spanning a trio of LaLiga matchups, as well as an impressive 5-1 aggregate win over Manchester City in Champions League play.
