Atletico have earned a hard fought draw away at Barcelona and have the advantage of scoring an away goal after Diego's fantastic long-range effort. Barcelona had some chances, however Atletico has proved many times this season that they have the answer to keep Barcelona from scoring - they played four times this season already and all matches ended in draws. So it looks good for Atletico to knock-out their rivals and reach the semi-finals. Diego Costa and Arda Turan are out for Atletico, while Pique is missing for Barcelona.
Expected Lineups:
Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, F.Luis; Gabi, Tiago; Koke, Raul Garcia, Diego; Villa
Pinto; Alves, Bartra, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Xavi, Fabregas; Iniesta, Neymar, Messi
Our Prediction:
Expect a tight affair, Barcelona keeping possession and Atletico playing on the counter-attack. Result: 1:1, Atletico win after a penalty shootout.
