Form Guide
Barcelona
DWWWW
Hansi Flick's Barcelona arrive in remarkable form and as one of the competition's heavyweights this season. They swept Newcastle aside with a stunning 7-2 second leg showing, effectively overturning a 1-1 first leg to advance 8-3 on aggregate. The Camp Nou has been a fortress in Europe: Flick's side have scored 19 goals in their last four home Champions League matches. Barcelona currently hold an advantage in the Spanish top-flight and will be keen to extend that from to their continental inclinations. Youngster Lamine Yamal in scintillating European form, has now scored in each of Barcelona's last three Champions League games and will be leading the line in the absence of last season’s leading scorer Raphinha.
Atl. Madrid
WWLLL
Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid have been one of the tournament's most dangerous knockout-round sides this season. They disposed of Tottenham Hotspur convincingly by winning the first leg 5-2 before losing 2-3 in the return, advancing 7-5 on aggregate and have a well established European pedigree. In the Copa del Rey, they inflicted a stunning 4-0 hammering on Barcelona at the Metropolitano this season, before Barca pulled back 3-0 in the return but couldn't overturn it. A reminder that Atleti have it in them to get results against this opposition. With little to play for in the domestic division, Diego Simeone made a number of rotations and has key players well rested ahead of this encounter.
