Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 243
Atletico wins: 77
Draws: 56
Barcelona wins: 110
Barcelona lead the overall head-to-head record between the two sides, having recorded 110 wins to Atletico's 77, while there have also been 56 draws in this particular fixture.
The Catalan outfit have also comfortably outscored their opponents, finding the back of the net on 456 occasions in their 242 matches against Atletico, while the capital outfit have managed 350.
Lionel Messi is the leading goalscorer in this fixture, finding the back of the net on 32 occasions against Atletico, which is 16 ahead of Cesar Rodriguez in second position.
Unsurprisingly, Barcelona also lead the head-to-head record in La Liga, winning 80 of their 175 matches to Atletico's 53, while there have also been 42 draws in Spain's top flight.
Each of the last 10 meetings between these two sides have come in La Liga, and Barcelona had been on a five-game winning run against Atletico at that level, including 1-0 and 3-0 successes during the 2023-24 campaign.
However, Atletico shocked their rivals in December 2024 with a 2-1 success at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, with Alexander Sorloth netting a last-gasp winner.
Atletico went five games unbeaten against the Catalan side between January 2020 and October 2021, winning three times during that run, including twice in the league.
The capital outfit's success over Barcelona in their last meeting, meanwhile, proved to be their first away victory over the Catalan giants since February 2006.
