5 matches that could still cost Barcelona the title

#2 Atletico Madrid (H), 4 March

Can Diego Simeone get one better of Ernesto Valverde?

Diego Simeone's side is currently second in the La Liga table and anything less than three points in this fixture will more or less end their title race. For Atletico to challenge Barcelona for the title, they cannot afford to make any more mistakes for the remaining of their La Liga campaign.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are the two best defensive units in La Liga this season. Atletico Madrid has lost only once in La Liga this season and boosted by the return of their talismanic striker Diego Costa.

The Los Rojiblancos are out of the Champions League this season and Simeone's complete focus will be on the domestic league. This is going to a challenging fixture for Ernesto Valverde and Barcelona's squad depth will be truly tested.
