Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona: Champions League preview
Barcelona have won three of the season’s five fixtures against Atletico. They completed a league double over the Rojiblancos with a 2–1 victory at the start of April, but the real story of the series started to emerge four days later.
Having already beaten Barcelona over two legs to dump them out of the domestic cup competition, Diego Simeone’s Atleti took a big step towards doing it again in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
A 2–0 win away from home in the first leg is about as much as Simeone could have asked for last week. It’s not a case of job done—far from it—but not being satisfied with that outcome would be foolish.
There’s nothing complicated about what’s needed next. A win, a draw, or even a narrow loss would take the capital club into the last four and a semi-final tie against Arsenal or Sporting CP.
Strikers Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth put the quarter-final in Atletico’s hands, the Argentinian scoring a tremendous free kick to draw first blood at Camp Nou.
The equation is no more complex for the Blaugrana, who know they need to go to Madrid and do to Atleti what Atleti did to them.
The league fixture mere days ago showed they’re capable of it, and they’re 22 points clear of Simeone’s side in La Liga—indeed, Atletico have lost their last three league matches as a laser focus on Barca takes hold.
But Flick’s memory will be long enough to recall his last cup visit to the Metropolitano, four meetings and two whole months ago, when Atletico’s 4–0 win essentially put the Copa del Rey semi-final beyond the holders.

FourFourTwo's prediction
Atletico Madrid 1-2 Barcelona
