The Bergamo team had gone 5 games without a win and broke that streak by beating Sturm Graz in the Champions League (5-0) and Como in Serie A (1-2)

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona will host Atalanta on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. This match will be the first in the history of the Champions League. The Blaugranas come into the match after beating Valencia (7-1) and with the aim of winning the match. Getting the three points from the last matchday of the league phase would mean two things: being able to be top of the table if Liverpool lose to PSV and ending the month of January unbeaten, with 7 wins and 1 draw. Thus, Hansi Flick's charges will try to beat the Bergamo team.

For their part, La Dea will try to win to certify their stay in the round of 16 by getting through the round of 32. They occupy seventh position in the league table with 14 points, but there are several teams that threaten to steal their place. In fact, if they lose, there are ten other clubs that can take their place with a victory. With the new format of the competition, there is no respite even on the last day.

Beating Barça to consolidate a good run

The Italian team comes to the duel after beating Sturm Graz in the Champions League (5-0) and Como (1-2) in Serie A. They are in third place in the domestic championship, 4 points behind Inter and 7 behind Napoli, practically the same as FC Barcelona in La Liga. However, these two wins, against lesser rivals, try to hide a streak of 5 games without a win:

  1. Serie A, matchday 18 (28/12/2024): Lazio 1-1 Atalanta
  2. Supercoppa Italiana, semi-final (02/01/2025): Inter 2-0 Atalanta
  3. Serie A, matchday 19 (11/01/2025): Udinese 0-0 Atalanta
  4. Serie A, matchday 20 (14/01/2025): Atalanta 1-1 Juventus
  5. Serie A, matchday 21 (18/01/2025): Atalanta 2-3 Napoli
  6. Champions League, matchday 7 (21/01/2025): Atalanta 5-0 Sturm Graz
  7. Serie A, matchday 22 (25/01/2025): Como 1-2 Atalanta

Beating Barça on the last day of the top European competition will not only help them in the sporting context, but also in the morale. Both teams need the three points to achieve their objectives, so the show is guaranteed this Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
