The tie pits the two clubs together just a few weeks after Atletico beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Olmo says Barcelona have to go for it and thinks if they play their best football they will make it past Atletico and into the last four of the competition. “It’s a scenario we expected, but it’s a situation I’ve already experienced, both last year and at my previous clubs. It’s all or nothing,” he told the club’s media.
“We have the quality and we can do it if we’re at our best. We’re motivated, we remember what happened in the Cup, and we can’t afford to fail. ” The winners of the tie between the two Spanish sides will go on to play either Arsenal or Sporting for a place in this season’s Champions League final.
