Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid: Match Preview
Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona are all set to lock horns in the second leg of the semi-final in the Copa Del Rey 2016-17 as they bid for a place in the final of the tournament. The first leg ended in a home defeat for Atletico Madrid as Barcelona edged past them with a 2-1 narrow win. Luis Suarez opened the scoring for the visitors while the second the goal was scored by Lionel Messi. Griezmann reduced the margin for the home side in the 59th minute to keep the hopes alive for a place in the final. But things are much tougher than what it appears apparently.
In the recent past, ATM has got a good record against Barcelona, but they have failed to manage even a single win over the Catalans in the ongoing season. The last win for Atletico came way back in the UEFA Champions League 2015-16 quarterfinal ties when they beat Barca by a scoreline of 2-0. This season, the Catalans beat ATM in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey while the two teams were held to a 1-1 draw in the Spanish La Liga.
Atletico Madrid have not performed up to the mark in the last 5 matches winning only one and drawing 3 of those. The single defeat came at the hands of Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey. On the other hand, Barcelona have been in red hot form with 7 wins in their last 8 matches, only one had ended in a draw. So it will be an uphill task for Atletico Madrid to go Camp Nou and fetch a win there.
Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid: Team News
Both teams will be desperate to win the match, but Atletico Madrid are in a much more desperate situation than their opponents. And it is expected that Diego Simeone will field the strongest possible eleven as no injury worry is reported.
But for Barcelona, Luis Enrique has got a tough job in hand as he won’t be getting the services of Gerard Pique who was substituted by Javier Mascherano in the weekend win over Athletic Bilbao. He has reportedly injured his left leg which will keep him out of the upcoming Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid encounter in the Copa Del Rey. Also, Barcelona will be denied the services of Rafinha and Neymar. While Neymar is out to due to suspension Rafinha won’t be able to take the field due to a broken nose. However, good news for Barcelona has come in the form of the comeback of Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, and Lucas Digne although it is not sure whether they will play in the first eleven or not considering the fact that they are already leading the two-legged tie 2-1.
