Atlético de Madrid are 90 minutes from returning to the UEFA Champions League semifinals for the first time in nine years.
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.

Thread rules
- This game might get heated. Cholo Simeone may make a head-scratching change or two. Atleti and Barça are meeting for the third time in 11 days and the sixth time this season — we’re tired of them and they’re tired of us. But please don’t use offensive/derogatory language, and keep swearing to a minimum. Don’t abuse the coaches, the players or the match officials.
- A continuation of the first guideline: excessive negativity weighs everyone down. It’s alright to express frustration, but please avoid peddling in pessimism.
- Do not discuss or share streaming links. I am so serious about this. We will get in big trouble for hosting or even discussing them. I don’t want to ban anyone from the site, so please don’t do it.
- Use common sense. Treat others in the thread how you would like to be treated.
Aúpa Atleti!!!
