Barcelona will play Atletico Madrid on Saturday to determine who will win the Spanish La Liga title this season. If Barcelona can win in front of tens of thousands of Catalan fans at the Nou Camp they will steal the title. However, if Atletico can simply avoid defeat then the crown will be theirs.

Today's big game in La Liga between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will kick off at 5 p.m. BST and can be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.

According to reports, Barcelona's Carles Puyol will miss today's game – a disappointing end to his 15 years at the club.

However, in better news for Barca, Brazil forward Neymar, and Spain defenders Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba are all set to return for the Catalan club.

For Atletico, meanwhile, striker Diego Costa has recovered from a hamstring strain, and will be available.

A win for Barcelona would see the two teams finish the season level on points but Barca would claim the title due to their superior head to head record against Atletico.

Atletico meanwhile know all they have to do is avoid defeat to claim their first La Liga title for 18 years. Many neutrals will be cheering them on, knowing that Barca and Real Madrid have had a monopoly on the La Liga title for the past decade in Spain.

One thing in Atletico's favor is that throughout the 2013-14 season Barcelona are yet to defeat Atletico. Four draws – two by a score of 1-1, and two scoreless draws – and one victory for Atletico, will give the Madrid team confidence that they will be able to close out the game and win the title even though they are playing at the Nou Camp.
