It's amazing to think that Atletico Madrid should fear a match against Barcelona given that in recent years they've knocked them out of the Champions League twice and drawn with them to win a league title on the final day, however the form book reveals that they've not defeated the Blaugrana in LaLiga since February 14, 2010.
That was before Diego Simeone took over in 2011, when Quique Sanchez Flores was in charge at the Estadio Vicente Calderon, with Los Rojiblancos winning 2-1 thanks to goal from Diego Forlan and Simao.
Seven years, seven months and 28 days later, Los Colchoneros are still seeking looking to take three points off the Catalan club.
They've faced each other 14 times in league competition since that day, with Barcelona winning on 11 occasions and with the spoils being shared three times.
Never before have Atleti gone this long without earning a LaLiga win over Barcelona, with the previously longest droughts having been the eight matches between the 1980/81 and 1985/86 seasons.
