Quotes
"I think it was a game of two halves. In the first, we dominated but didn't really go for the game," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after his side's draw against Rayo.
"We were not aggressive. We lacked the mentality to go for it. If we want to win trophies this season, we have to change our mentality. The second half was good but not enough. We woke up too late.
"We did what we wanted: dominated and created chances. We could have scored more. But we have to win these games if we want to win La Liga, so we have to be self-critical, too, and improve."
Head-to-Head
Barcelona emerged as 1-0 winners over Atletico in their last meeting in La Liga and the game took place at the Spotify Camp Nou on 23 April 2023.
As a result, Barca are enjoying a three-match unbeaten run in the league against the Mattress Makers having recorded three consecutive wins.
