Yahoo Sports Most exciting Spanish title race in a decade? Where to buy tickets to Barcelona v Atletico Madrid
Not many countries can claim to have title races to rival those in Serie A in recent years, but it looks as if Spain might provide one this season. Inter icon Diego Simeone is boldly challenging Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, and the ever-composed Carlo Ancelotti has his at the tiller, with the top of the table in sight.
It looked as if Barcelona might run away with the title early on, but a run of one win in five games has seen them return to the peloton. At the other end of the scale, Atletico Madrid have put together a sensational 10-game winning streak in all competitions since their first loss of the season to another wily character in Real Betis’ Manuel Pellegrini, with Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann leading the way.

The top three are now separated by just three points, with both Atletico and Los Blancos maintaining a game in hand over the Blaugrana. However Simeone’s side could put down a real statement in the final game of the year, as they travel to Catalonia to face Barcelona. Former Udinese playmaker Rodrigo de Paul is starting to pull the strings for Simeone, servicing the likes of Alvarez and Griezmann.
While Barcelona have stumbled of late, there is no doubt about their ceiling, which saw them put four past Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the same week. When on song, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha can make the argument they have been the most lethal trio in football this season, while Pedri has been back to his best behind them. It is shaping up to be an exhilarating clash, and could be decisive come the end of the season.
