Barcelona trust Atletico to help them reach El Clasico atop LaLiga

The Atletico Madrid supporters at the Estadio Vicente Calderon won't be the only ones hoping for a win, as a Rojiblancos victory in the Madrid derby could help Barcelona go top of LaLiga.
With a win against Malaga, alongside an Atletico win in the derby, the Catalans could sit atop the league, which is their main goal before the Clasico on December 3.
If the derby ends in a draw, and the Blaugrana win, then Real Madrid and Barcelona would be level on points ahead of Spanish football's most important match.
Nonetheless, a difficult away trip to Estadio Anoeta, which has always come back to haunt the club, precedes the Clasico, and Barcelona will have little room for error in such difficult and demanding back to back games.
