Today, April 8, Spanish teams will meet in a football match within the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
This is reported by “ Pryamiy “.
At 22:00 Kyiv time, Barcelona and Atletico will kick off the match. They will compete at Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium.
The teams have met recently. On April 4, Barcelona defeated Atletico in La Liga, scoring two goals and conceding one.
In addition, this year, today’s opponents fought for the championship twice more – in these cases they maintained parity: on March 3, the match ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of Barcelona, and on February 12, Madrid managed to score four goals without conceding a single one.
With that in mind, both teams will be ready to give their all to beat their opponents. However, after the victory on April 4, Barcelona is psychologically more confident, so they will try to impose their own pace of play.
Both Barcelona and Madrid are missing players. Barcelona will be without striker Rafinha, defender Christensen, and two midfielders, Bernal and de Jong, while Atletico will be without midfielders Barrios and Cardoz.
Nevertheless, the match promises to be dynamic. The home team will play through short passes and flanks, while the visitors will focus on defense and quick counterattacks.
According to experts, Barcelona has a better chance of winning the match, while Atletico’s chances of success are estimated to be lower than the probability of a draw.
