After securing a 2-0 win at Camp Nou last Wednesday, Atlético are back at the Metropolitano, where Diego Simeone’s side never has lost a knockout game in the Champions League.
In fact, Atleti have not lost at home in a Champions League knockout match since Ajax put the Rojiblancos out of the competition in 1997. This marks the sixth and final meeting this season between Atlético and Barcelona. Barça have won three of the previous five, including both showdowns in LaLiga.
But Atleti landed a knockout blow against Barça in a 4-0 victory to begin the Copa del Rey semifinals in February prior to last week’s victory in Catalonia — a result that marked the Blaugrana’s first home loss since they moved back in to their renovated home ground. Lineups XI 🔴⚪ pic. twitter.
