Kick-off on April 8, 2026, at 22:00.

In the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal, the first leg between Barcelona and Atletico will take place at Camp Nou. The history of clashes between these Spanish sides is extremely rich: in the current season alone, the opponents have met four times in domestic competitions. In those matches, the Catalan side has been stronger on three occasions, while the Madrid side has celebrated one victory. The upcoming game in Europe’s premier competition will be another chapter in this intense rivalry for a place in the semifinals.

Barcelona enters the quarterfinal as the leader of La Liga, holding a seven-point advantage over its closest rival. Despite the fact that the previous two head-to-head encounters in the Champions League ended in elimination for the Catalan club, the current form of Hansi Flick’s side inspires optimism among supporters. In the Round of 16, it crushed Newcastle United with an aggregate score of 8-3 and has remained unbeaten across all competitions for two months. However, the host is dealing with squad issues: Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal have not been included due to injuries.

Atletico prepares for the trip to Catalonia’s capital on the back of a three-match losing streak, including a recent defeat against Barcelona in La Liga. Diego Simeone’s side sits fourth in the league standings, engaged in a tight battle for the top positions. In the previous Champions League round, the Madrid side managed to eliminate Tottenham despite losing the second leg. A positive factor for the visitor is the return to training of Jan Oblak, Marc Pubill, and Rodrigo Mendoza after injuries. At the same time, the coaching staff will be without midfielder Pablo Barrios.
