This draw brings them together three times in more than a month, with Barcelona also traveling to Atletico in La Liga on March 16, 2025.

Prior to the three encounters, Barcelona and Atletico had met in the first half of La Liga this season.

Atletico won the match. Alexander Sorloth's late goal made Los Rojiblancos win 2-1 at the Olimpic Lluis Companys Stadium in December 2024.

In another match, Real Sociedad first hosted Real Madrid on February 26 before traveling to Bernabeu on April 1, 2025.

Only two points separate the three at the top of La Liga this season, while the three teams are still in the Champions League.

Currently, Real Sociedad is seventh in the league and is still in the Europa League.
