Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will play a thrilling second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal at Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium on Wednesday night. The teams played a 4-4 draw in the first leg of the season last month, which was likely the most exhilarating game of the season. The Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona game will kick off at 20:30 UK Time.
It seems like Barcelona would come out on top in their first encounter. Correctly speaking, Madrid got off to a good start, leading 2-0 in the sixth minute. However, the Catalans wasted no time taking the lead, and they were up 3-2 at halftime. In the second half, Flick’s squad continued to play methodically and dominate; Lewandowski scored a goal to put the game away at 4:2. Although the team let their guard down early on, Atletico eventually scored to tie the game at 4-4.
Notably, they were able to play again after that, but in La Liga rather than the Cup. Finally, Simeone’s squad scored just twice in response to Barça’s four goals, resulting in a final score of 2:4. The situation changed drastically at that point; Madrid had a 2-0 lead at the 70-minute mark, but the Catalans scored four unanswered goals in the second half.
It would be fair to assume that Atletico didn’t do very well. I agree with it. The club deserves some credit, however, for its scheduling. He had a string of very challenging games, after all. Concurrently, he had two appearances for Real Madrid in the Champions League, both of which ended in defeat (1:2 and 1:1). Even in the Primera, Athletic (1:0) and Getafe (1:2) were not the simplest opponents to face.
Regarding Barcelona, there was almost no cause for complaint. Its opponents, Benfica (1:0 and 3:1), were much easier to handle in the Champions League quarterfinals. Even in La Liga, there weren’t a tonne of formidable rivals. It should be noted, too, that the Catalans’ meeting schedule was now somewhat tight. Following the international break, they were among the first to return, and they quickly rescheduled their match against Osasuna (3:0) and then faced Girona (4:1). The encounter with Atletico follows.
