Diego Simeone’s Atlético will meet Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League for the third time, and all three occasions have taken place in the competition’s round of eight.
Atleti eliminated Barça in the two previous knockout meetings, in 2014 and 2016, despite failing to win the first leg in both ties. This marks the season’s fifth meeting between Atleti and Barça, after two fixtures in LaLiga (which Barcelona won 3-1 and 2-1) and a two-legged Copa del Rey semifinal that Atleti won 4-3 on aggregate.
