Atlético de Madrid will receive this Tuesday FC Barcelona in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League 2025-2026in a duel that promises high voltage and emotions to the limit.
The Colchonero team, led by Diego Pablo Simeone, arrives with a significant advantage in the series, after winning 2-0 in the first leg played at the Camp Nou. In that match, Atlético showed defensive solidity and forcefulness in attack, with goals from Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
For its part, Barcelona is forced to perform a real feat if it wants to stay alive in the most important tournament in European football at club level. The Blaugrana team will look for a comeback that will allow them to reverse the series and qualify again for the semifinals of the Champions League.
It should be noted that the away goal rule no longer counts, so a victory for Barcelona by two goals difference would take the match to extra time and, if the tie persists, the tie would be decided from the penalty spot. The match will be played at 1:00 p.m. in Guatemala.
