Barça-Atleti, the game that could decide LaLiga now has a time & date
Camp Nou is the setting on Saturday April 6 at 20:45 when Barcelona face second place Atlético Madrid with the side from the capital currently 7 points behind the leaders.
At this stage of the 2018/19 LaLiga campaign, only Atletico Madrid have a realistic chance of offering resistance in deciding where the title will end up come May. Saturday April 6th will be the date when both sides go head to at Camp Nou after LaLiga confirmed that both sides will kick off at 20:45 CET. The Catalan side currently hold a seven point lead over theside from the capital and a win in this tussle would go some way in seeing the LaLiga title remain in Barcelona..
Diego Simeone has never beaten Barcelona in LaLiga in his capacity as Atleti boss but has negotiated the Catalan side in the Champions League as the "Colchoneros" made both Lisbon and Milan finals. The first game of the current season ended 1-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano with the potentially key goalverage battle also on the line.
