Barcelona are back home after a hard-fought win over Las Palmas to stay top of the La Liga table and are getting ready for a monster Cup tie as the Blaugrana face Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final matchup on Tuesday night.
The Catalans have cruised through their Cup journey so far with dominant wins over Barbastro, Real Betis and Valencia in the first three rounds, but things change in a big way as they go up against a true heavyweight in an Atleti side which has lost just once in the last four months and has already beaten Barça this season.
