Atletico Madrid fans could barely have feared a worse three-game run before the international break, losing two games to Getafe and Barcelona in stoppage time, and a third Champions League clash

On matchweek 28, Kylian Mbappe's brace led Real Madrid to a gutsy comeback win over Villareal to keep the pace at the top. But the most significant result came a day later, as Barcelona came back from a two goal deficit to defeat title rivals Atlético Madrid.

Raphinha and Araujo will be unable to play on the new date as their national teams have World Cup qualifiers only two days before.

The Barcelona game against Osasuna postponed after a club doctor died unexpectedly before kick-off on March 8 has been rescheduled for 27 March, the Spanish Football Association said on Monday, although the Catalan club is reportedly unhappy with the decision.

Barcelona's next scheduled match is the second leg of its Round of 16 Champions League tie against Benfica. The match will take place at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Tuesday
