Match Stats

Barcelona has already secured their place in the UEFA Champions League playoffs. The Catalans have earned 18 points from seven previous rounds, losing only their opening match to Monaco (1-2). Since then, they have only won and currently sit second in the Champions League standings. They are guaranteed a spot in the Round of 16 without needing a playoff round. While there is a chance for Barcelona to finish first, this is unlikely to be a significant priority. Their main task is complete, and they have already scored over 100 goals across all competitions this season.

Atalanta has not yet fully secured their place in the Champions League Round of 16. Although the Bergamo side is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, their position remains uncertain. Over seven matches, they have drawn twice, won four times, and lost once (2-3 to Real Madrid). Atalanta has conceded only four goals in seven rounds, with just two teams conceding fewer. With 14 points, they are just one point ahead of six teams with 13 points each. The battle for the top eight will be fiercely contested on the final day.
