With Real's title defence stalling, it's been left to Barca and Atletico to fight it out over the Spanish championship.

Atleti are the only team that has been able to stay within touching distance of the Catalan machine, but Barca dominated the first half of the campaign in style.

Griezmann's form has made the title race interesting, though, allowing Atletico to remain competitive.

The France international slammed four goals past Leganes in the recent 4-0 victory at Wanda Metropolitano. And his form has once again increased speculation about his future.

TV3 recently reported Barca are keen to sign Griezmann, adding more drama to Sunday's encounter at the Camp Nou (h/t Andrew Richardson of The Sun).

Squawka Football highlighted the striker's excellent performances:

Barca's interest in Griezmann makes sense, as he would be a suitable candidate to replicate the attacking threat of Neymar, who left the club for Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Per Richardson, Manchester United ended their long-term interest in Griezmann after signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal in January, allowing Barca coach Ernesto Valverde a clear run at tempting the attacker to switch allegiances.

Barca have recovered after a poor season by their standards last term, and Valverde's first year in charge promises to deliver the type of success fans are used to.

Atleti ticked along nicely before Griezmann recaptured his form, and La Liga consequently has an unlikely title race on its hands after it appeared the leaders would romp to the Spanish crown.

Griezmann could be in Barca colours after the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and his performance will be scrutinised on Sunday as he attempts to help his team narrow the gap at the top of the table.
