I think Atlético will win.
Lots of energy in midfield and the dynamic French duo are in great form.

Oblak's first game back from a long injury, and he faces up against MSN.
Quite a good start by Barca.
I want Atletico Madrid to beat Barcelona, but can't see it unfortunately. Not sure what happened but Atletico Madrid hasn't beaten Barca since 2010. 
Dire match so far
Atletico finding their feet and looking dangerous now.
So easy to penetrate Barca's defence atm.
Barca has the worst midfield of any top side in Europe. Maybe worse than a lot of second tier clubs.
They may as well have played the opening 20 mins with 8 men

Barca are rubbish this year. Enrique seems to be outclassed consistently these days. Doesn't seem to have an answer to teams pressing him. Tactically poor?
Wow. I did not know Barcelona were so bad. This is worse than us.
It surely also has to do with Enrique's tactics. He seems to have shifted focus from midfield completely. Granted their midfield is nowhere near Madrid's but teams just seem to overrun them consistently which makes me think his tactics are poor.

What? That's not true. They've beaten them a lot of times recently, even took them out of the Champions League last season
So many pointless long balls from Barcelona. Weird stuff. Atletico looking very good.
Surface looks very slow.
Griezmann close
Great hit, great save.
Sorry I was referring to the league. Which makes it all the more stranger why they can't beat Barca in the league anymore.
Great save by Ter Stegen. It's all Atletico.
Suarez playing volleyball here. Sneaky bastard.
Yeah it's a strange one. Firstly because he was a box-to-box midfielder who specialised in running over the top of other midfields. And secondly because one of his first major tactical moves was to change the shape of the midfield to become much better in transition.
My god Ter Stegen having one of those games that would make us put his name to the stadium
This is a carbon copy of the game they played in Barcellona some weeks ago. Atletico are all over them.
Fabulous save by Oblak.
I can see this finishing 1-1 now.
What a save!
Oblak just off the line!
0-0 HT. Atletico all over Barca in the first 30 minutes, than Luis Enrique's side had some good chances.

Awful miss from Suarez.
First chance I've seen Barca have not from a set piece.

Suarez usually scores these chances.
Chance for Griezmann now.
Save from Griezmann. Stegen having a good game.
Busquets, the cheating sneaky cnut.
I can't believe how poor Barcelona's midfield, and ball retention is.
Atletico and their shit finishing as usual, should be 2 up
Luis Enrique is such a lucky man. 1-0 Rafinha.
Atleti just couldn't clear the ball after Messi's run.
Torres on for Carrasco.
Godin equalises.
