23:20
Barca entered the rematch against Atletico Madrid with great confidence, despite their past Champions League history which had haunted them on numerous occasions. Their two previous eliminations in the 2013/14 and 2015/16 seasons clearly demonstrated the formidable nature of the Spanish capital's representatives in this prestigious competition.
However, the current situation has changed significantly. Barca are in superb form with an unbeaten run of nearly two months, especially the 8-3 thrashing of Newcastle over two legs in the round of 16. Furthermore, they have won 5 out of their last 6 encounters with Atletico, demonstrating their clear superiority.
The Catalan team's attack is in top form, highlighted by Lamine Yamal – the young star who consistently creates breakthroughs. Conversely, Atletico is in decline, having lost three consecutive matches, including a 1-2 defeat against Barca in La Liga.
Despite making an impression with a 7-5 victory over Tottenham, Atletico's inconsistency makes it difficult for them to spring a surprise. Against a resurgent Barcelona, the visitors are likely to face immense difficulties at Camp Nou.
Force information
Barca : Andreas Christensen (knee), Raphinha (hamstring), Frenkie de Jong (hamstring), and Marc Bernal (ankle) are unavailable due to injury. Ronald Araujo has recovered and is ready to play.
The home side welcomes back Jules Kounde, who is likely to start. Up front, striker Robert Lewandowski is expected to return to the starting lineup, while Marcus Rashford may continue to hold his position on the left wing.
Atletico: Jan Oblak, Marc Pubill, and Rodrigo Mendoza return to training after recovering from injuries. However, Pablo Barrios remains absent due to a hamstring problem. Jose Gimenez and Johnny Cardoso's participation is still uncertain.
