Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have exceeded expectations this season and returned to the top of the league table with a stunning 5-0 victory against SD Eibar. Diego Simeone's side faces intense competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona in the La Liga fixture and cannot afford to drop points in this match.
