FC Barcelona hosts Atlético Madrid today, Tuesday, March 3, 2026, for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Match Preview & Breakdown
Barcelona faces a massive challenge after being dismantled 4–0 by Atlético in the first leg at the Metropolitano last month. While Barcelona currently leads La Liga with 64 points, Atlético sits in third with 51 points but holds a significant aggregate advantage in this knockout tie.
  • Barcelona's Form: They have been dominant at home recently, including a 3–1 league win over Atlético in December 2025. However, they must now overturn a four-goal deficit—a feat never before achieved in a Copa del Rey semi-final.
  • Atlético's Form: Diego Simeone’s side is in a strong position following their first-leg "rout". Their strike duo of Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth has been prolific, combining for six goals in their last three February matches.
  • Key Absences: Barcelona will be without star striker Robert Lewandowski (eye injury) and Frenkie de Jong (thigh injury). Eric García is also suspended following his red card in the first leg. Atlético remains without midfielder Pablo Barrios, though Johnny Cardoso is expected to fit in as his replacement.
Score Prediction
Most experts expect a high-scoring affair as Barcelona is forced to attack from the opening whistle.
  • Aggregate Favorite: Atlético Madrid is heavily favored to advance due to their 4-0 lead.
  • Projected Score (Leg 2): Barcelona 3–1 Atlético Madrid.
  • Alternative Prediction: Barcelona 3–2 Atlético Madrid (Atlético advances 6–3 on aggregate).
