Madrid: Barcelona face the gargantuan task of overturning a 4-0 defeat in the second leg of the semifinal tie at Camp Nou tomorrow.
Hansi Flick’s side can take some confidence in the fact that they sit at the top of La Liga and are scoring freely.
They head into the game off the back of a 4-1 demolition of third-placed Villarreal over the weekend, in which 18-year-old star Lamine Yamal grabbed his first career hat–trick.
However, Diego Simeone’s Atletico will back themselves to hold off Barca while also looking to exploit the hosts’ weaknesses on the counter.
Atletico arrive in Barcelona after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Real Oviedo at the weekend that saw them move up to third place in the league, albeit still a whopping 13 points behind Barca.
