Atletico takes 11-game winning streak to Barcelona in battle for La Liga top spot

Associated Press  

BARCELONA, Spain — When Atletico Madrid led the Spanish league in spending on summer transfers, Diego Simeone’s club was making a bet it could challenge for its first title since 2021. Atletico has pulled level on points with Barcelona after reeling off six wins in a row in La Liga, while Barcelona has won only one of its last six league games. “When people were doubting us they were playing incredible, and even though they have lost some games now, they still have great players and I am sure it is going to a very tough game.” Flick was earning praise from Barcelona fans and even Lionel Messi after the German’s great start when Barcelona was scoring in bunches and rolled off win after win, and it looked like the top title candidate when it crushed defending champion Real Madrid 4-0 in late October. The fixture, while overshadowed by the “clasico” between Barcelona and Real Madrid, has become a must-see game in Spain ever since Simeone turned Atletico into a perennial title contender over a decade ago.
