Atletico must win away at Barcelona for the first time since 2006 if they are to reach the final of this season’s Copa del Rey. Barcelona won the first leg 2-1 and a draw will be enough for them to advance to the final.
Goals from Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi put Barcelona ahead at half time in last week’s first leg, before Antoine Griezmann gave Atletico a glimmer of hope ahead of the second leg.
