Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid are this year's La Liga protagonists, but not only that, all three are still alive in the Copa del Rey semifinals and the Champions League round of 16. Unquestionably, three of the best teams in Europe this season.

Madrid has been a thorn for Atletico in the Champions League over the years, beating the city rival in two finals and eliminating it from the competition the other two times they faced off in the knockout rounds.

Carlo Ancelotti’s Real last faced Diego Simeone’s Atletico in a La Liga clash on February 9 where the sides played out a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
