Barcelona, Atletico Madrid face off again but this time the stakes are higher

Barcelona will host Atletico Madrid at the Spotify Camp Nou on Wednesday for the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. The two Spanish sides have already met four times this season, following last weekend’s away victory for Barcelona, and they have already delivered some of the most thrilling matches of the season. That includes their dramatic two-legged semifinal in the Copa del Rey, when Diego Simeone’s team won 4–0 in the first leg in Madrid before losing 3–0 at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of the match against Barcelona that will take place on Wednesday:
