Barcelona 0-0 Atletico Madrid

Barcelona missed the chance to go top of the table for the second time in 10 days with a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid.

The result has hurt Barca’s hopes of winning the title and may also put a bit of scrutiny on Koeman after another disappointing result in a big game.

The draw also means that Barca have failed to beat either Real Madrid or Atletico in La Liga in 2020-21.
