After a humiliating defeat at the Metropolitano Stadium, Barcelona will have revenge on the mind when they take on Atlético Madrid at the iconic Spotify Camp Nou, Spain in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals.
Diego Simeone’s men come into the all-important fixture with a commanding 4–0 lead off the back of a sensational performance at the Metropolitano. After an Eric García own goal opened the scoring, Antoine Griezmann, Ademola Lookman and Julián Alvarez piled on to send the Catalans back home under a cloud of shame.
Barcelona were decimated by injuries for the clash, though, that is a problem they no longer have—to such an extent—for Tuesday’s contest. Yet even the big names in Hansi Flick’s XI will have to pull off a miraculous performance to keep their Copa del Rey title defense alive.
The Catalans will hope to channel their impressive 4–1 victory over Villarreal at the weekend in the cup fixture, but Atlético Madrid will also be full of confidence as they enjoy a four-game unbeaten run.
