Unsurprisingly, Barcelona also lead the head-to-head record in La Liga, winning 82 of their 177 matches to Atletico's 53, while there have also been 42 draws in Spain's top flight.

Twelve of the last 14 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 victory at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, with Alexander Sorloth netting a last-gasp winner.

Barcelona did manage to gain revenge in the reverse match at Wanda Metropolitano, coming from two goals behind late on to record a 4-2 victory against their title rivals, and Blaugrana made it back-to-back wins in this fixture with a 3-1 triumph in December 2025.

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 league meeting at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, meanwhile, proved to be their first away victory over the Catalan giants since February 2006.

The two teams also locked horns in February 2025 in the Copa del Rey, with a 4-4 draw occurring in the first leg of their semi-final, before Barcelona ran out 1-0 winners in the second leg to set up a final against Real Madrid.
