The crazy score chase between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.

Pre-match comments Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona

Atletico Madrid have been out of breath recently and are facing the risk of going empty-handed this season. Coach Simeone's team stopped at the round of 16 of the Champions League after a bitter defeat against Real Madrid. In La Liga, the Rojiblancos continuously lost points in March and were left behind by the top team Barcelona by 9 points. Therefore, the Madrid team will have to try their best to overcome Barcelona in the semi-finals of the King's Cup.

Atletico Madrid will play at home in the return leg, but Simeone's men are unlikely to beat Barcelona at the moment. The Catalan team is in one of the most impressive forms in Europe. Barcelona's unbeaten streak in 2025 has reached 20 matches (17 wins, 3 draws) after a 4-1 victory over Girona last weekend. Atletico Madrid may still play well in the return match, but victory is likely to belong to the more highly rated team, Barcelona.

Coach Hansi Flick's free-flowing attacking style is helping Barcelona soar this season and is full of hope for a treble. The German tactician has gradually found a way to neutralize Atletico Madrid's solid defense after their defeat in round 18 of La Liga. In the last two confrontations, Barcelona won 1 and drew 1 against Atletico Madrid. The Catalan team scored 8 goals despite facing the Rojiblancos' deep defense.
