And this is how we find ourselves. Four days after their La Liga clash in the Spanish capital, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will do it again, this time at Camp Nou in the Champions League.
Atletico recently beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate in the Copa del Rey semi-final, but the first leg ended in a 3-0 defeat. They will need to show more defensive solidity on Wednesday if they want to maintain the tie heading into the second leg.
Barca will dominate possession and take the game to Atletico, who will aim to frustrate their opponents by slowing down the pace and toning down their attacks. Patience will be key for Hansi Flick’s side, whose power in the final third will likely make the difference.
Here’s how to watch Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid in the 2025/26 Champions League from anywhere in the world.
