Barcelona will host Atletico Madrid on September 12, 2026. The match is clearly on.

It happens after a fallen-through transfer of Julian Alvarez. That controversy has damaged relations between the two clubs.

Reports say the dispute is still. The contest will go ahead as originally set.

Both teams will compete on the field. They do this regardless of the persisting bad blood from the dispute.

The deal controversy stays open. No one has scrapped the event.

The scheduled day stands. Supporters will see the rivals face each other.
