If Barcelona want to end an 11-year Champions League title drought, they must first vanquish Atlético Madrid in the quarterfinals, a team that’s ended their European season the previous two times they’ve met in this instance of the competition.
The Spanish rivals know each other extremely well given Wednesday night’s first leg will mark their fifth meeting of the season. Barcelona’s 2–1 win against Atléti four nights ago was their third victory against Diego Simeone’s side this term, but Los Rojiblancos ended Barça’s Copa del Rey title defense in the semifinals not two months ago.
The pressure is on Barcelona to avenge that defeat and progress in the competition to try and lift that elusive sixth title. Atléti are once again underdogs in a Champions League tie, but that’s historically where Simeone’s men feel at their most comfortable and are more than capable of producing an upset.
Here’s how fans can watch the first leg of the mouthwatering Champions League quarterfinals tie between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona.
