Barcelona v Atletico Madrid Match Preview
Barcelona arrive at the first leg in excellent form, unbeaten across their last nine matches with eight wins in that run. A 7-2 demolition of Newcastle at Camp Nou preceded the international break, and Flick's side continued in the same vein at the weekend, dominating despite Atletico's red card with the late winner fully merited. The result leaves them seven points clear in La Liga after Real Madrid lost to Mallorca, and they now face a side they have already beaten twice this season.
Atletico have lost each of their last three matches and arrive in difficult form, though the quality of those opponents provides some context. In the Champions League, Diego Simeone's side have been a different proposition entirely. Their 5-2 first-leg win over Tottenham in the round of 16 was a statement, and they did enough in the second leg to advance to the quarter-finals.
