In La Liga, recent history favours Barcelona against Atlético

Barcelona have won their last four away league games against Atlético Madrid, including two comebacks under Flick, and can become the third team ever to achieve five consecutive wins at the Metropolitano.

Barcelona's recent record in La Liga against Atlético Madrid tells a very different story from their cup competition struggles at the Metropolitano. The Catalan side have won their last four consecutive away league matches against Atlético, with the two most recent victories coming under manager Flick: a 2-4 comeback from 2-0 down in the 70th minute this season, and a 1-2 win last campaign after Giuliano Simeone's opening goal.

The four consecutive wins are: 0-1 (2022-23), 0-3 (2023-24), 2-4 (2024-25), and 1-2 (2025-26). Barcelona can make history by becoming only the third team ever to record five straight victories at Atlético's ground, following Athletic Bilbao in 1955 and Real Madrid in 2013.

Atlético arrive in strong form themselves, having won their last seven La Liga matches. The Madrid side have only managed eight consecutive league wins once since 2021-22, which occurred in January 2025.
