Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are playing on the final day of the La Liga schedule and this match is for the Spanish Primera Division title and the game is live from Estadio Camp Nou and is streaming online at 12 pm ET as Lionel Messi tries to lead his team to a trophy and it comes after he signed a record contract with Barca.
This game will be for the La Liga title and Barcelona is ahead of Real Madrid in the standings, while Atletico is the top team and they have a three point lead. All the team needs is a draw to win, but doing that against Messi will be very difficult and now they are looking to keep Barca back, as if they win, the teams are tied on points, but Barcelona has scored a ton more goals and they will hit 100 if they score one more and they have just 32 allowed this year and Messi comes in leading the team in scoring this year despite missing a month in the middle of the season.
Camp Nou is never an easy place to play and with the pressure on it will be even tougher and Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said his team is ready for the challenge. Barcelona comes into the match after a draw against Elche and before that they had another draw against Getafe and those ended up being huge, as it kept them alive into this game and before that they won over Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao and before that was their last loss on all leagues and it was in the Copa Del Rey final and before that they lost to Granada and Atletico Madrid and now they have another chance to beat the team and this time it's a huge game for the title.
Diego Costa and David Villa are leading Atletico in scoring and they will need to come through for the game on Saturday and they could be huge factors against Barca and Messi. The teams combined had just nine losses this year and Barcelona can match Atletico with 27 wins with a victory in the matchup. Atletico still has a matchup against Real Madrid in the Champions League final and that comes after the Barca matchup. The team comes in after a draw against Malaga and that was huge for Barca, as that kept them in the mix and so did the loss against Levante before that.
Atletico, Barcelona and Real have been battling near the top of the standings all season and now it comes down to the final day and the team in first place is looking to win their first league title since back in 1996 and Barcelona is looking to win after signing Messi to a huge title. Costa will be back for the team and that could make it tough and now Barcelona comes in with a little bit of momentum
