Barça vs Atlético,Flick deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation with Lewandowski leading the line, Olmo behind him, Yamal and Raphinha on the wings, Garcia and Pedri as the double pivot, a back four of Koundé, Kuby, Martin, and Balde, and Joan Garcia in goal; the starting lineup’s total market value was 767 million euros.Simeone also lined up in a 4-2-3-1 with Alvarez upfront, Gonzalez behind him, Baena and little Simeone on the wings, Cardoso and Barrios as holding midfielders, a back four of Hinczko, Lenglet, Gimenez, and Molina, and Oblak guarding the goal; their starting lineup’s market value was 387 million euros.

In this match, Barça dominated possession at home, but Atlético’s counterattack broke the deadlock first. Afterwards, Barça controlled the game, scoring three goals plus Lewandowski missing a penalty, completing a 3-1 home comeback to extend their lead by 4 points. Lewandowski seemed almost sleepwalking, out of form and even missed a penalty. Personally, with Raphinha back and Lewandowski struggling, it might be better to have Rashford play striker, similar to Real Madrid’s Mbappé, rather than the aging Lewandowski. The return of Pedri and Raphinha has elevated Barça: Pedri controls midfield, and Raphinha adds pressing and goal threat upfront. The standout player was Olmo, who scored and won a penalty before being injured; a healthy Olmo is truly valuable but his frequent injuries hinder his star potential. For Atlético, Alvarez lacked support upfront and Simeone’s tactics didn’t suit the young spider’s style. Ultimately, Barça outplayed Atlético tactically, showing superiority in playing style.

Throughout the match,Barça held 58% possession, made 19 shots with 6 on target; Atlético had 7 shots with 2 on target..
