The Champions League quarterfinal match between Barcelona and Atalanta is scheduled for January 29. This is a fascinating game. Having to face each other in the championship game is something neither team is looking forward to. At this moment, everyone is aiming to score as many points as possible. The Barcelona vs Atalanta game will kick off at 20:00 UK Time.
Atalanta is more focused on points than Barcelona. The team has a four-point lead over its eighth-line competitor, so although it hasn’t assured itself a spot in the playoffs, it will most certainly go to the 1/8 finals. But in the end, it will be Atalanta who decides everything. It has 14 points, enough for seventh position thus far. The distance between the Bergamascos and their neighbours, both above and below, is quite little. Thus, they are both in a position to either advance in the tournament or fall out of the top eight.
It should be acknowledged that Barça is considered the favourite going into this encounter. This is due to more than just its placement in the table. There is no better team than the Catalans in 2025. Already in the Super Cup final, they humiliated Real Madrid with a score of 5:2. However, Barça had success in other games that took place in the new year as well. The streak of defeats continued, however, in La Liga. Last Saturday, nevertheless, Valencia won 7-1, so even this matter is over.
Conversely, Atalanta had a rough start to the current season and the conclusion of previous year. Gasperini’s squad began to drop points at an alarming rate, across all competitions. The Bergamo side did, in fact, end this run in their most recent encounters. Their Champions League victory against Sturm and their Serie A victory over Como are worth considering, however. Clearly, Barça are the superior team.
