The last time they met in UCL it was Diego's outrageous goal in Camp Nou that made the difference for Atletico. Barca know that if Atleti score a goal first then it will be very hard for Barca to win the game. Atleti know that they need some luck like they got in 2014.

I don't believe in this football and anti-football thing, every club looks to find a rhythm and game play that suits their team. For a team like Barca with so many world class players anyone would want them to play football that is easy on the eye but for a team like Atletico who have to make do with what they have they will choose a style of play that suits their team and can bring out the best in them.

Atleti are a very tight unit when compared to Barca. One goal and they can sit deep to protect that lead and they can do it against any team. I bet Barca are shitting their pants now that they have to play Atleti. I don't know if people agree or not but Atleti was the only team Barca could lose to in this round. Other teams are not as tight defensively as Atleti are.

It will be a tough game and Atleti will look to suck out all the "art" from Barca and dictate the play on their terms. I can't see more that 3 goals being scored in these two legs combined.

Barca have this in the bag. Barca have had the upperhand on Atleti since they got Enrique. I think Barca will win 2-1. However, after Barca wasted so much energy on Saturday i hope Atleti can take advantage of that fact. Who am i kidding right Neymar will run rings around Juanfran and Diego Godin will get a red card fouling Messi repeatedly right outside the box

I prefer Atleti in the next round than Barca so will be rooting for Atleti. Why did the PSG City game have to be tomorrow ffs.
