Yeah Barcelona is favourite to win this time but we can't underestimate what Athletico is capable, it's a Knockout game and they will also be willing to do everything to keep it as well..
The little amazing thing about Barca is that they are very active with Copa del Rey. Lastime they had issue, they suffered loss from ATH and Leganes and even draw Real betis but when they faced RealBestis in Copa del Rey, it was a different result entirely ( even with their situation then), if same thing happens tonight then there could be a little margin even though I don't underestimate them

It's really funny how Barcelona train only to concede two goals with in 6 minutes of the game as if they aren't interested in the competition, it was after the two goals they are now putting pressure on Atletico but to equalize this game is going to be tough because Atletico didn't come to play in this match. Like somebody said, it seems Atletico are the Barcelona in this match while Barcelona is now the Real Madrid the way they are conceding goals.
Barcelona coach decide to give Feran Torres some start and bench Lewandowski. I don't know his plans but Lewandowski is better for this game than he put in the first place, but who knows. I know for sure that the plan will not work 100% as he wanted to do in the first place, if Atletico had another chance which I think the two forward Alvarez and the other guy will do some damages to Barcelona before the end of the first half.
But what are you going to say now when they scored two goals within a short period of time and seem as if they are going to take control over this game and probably win it? Their response doesn't look to me as if they are not interested in the competition!
They are quite interested in the competition in my opinion and they are on the fence of taking the lead.But I agree that for a second I was shocked when I had a look at how the game is going. But these things can happen and Atletico Madrid are no amateurs. If they get their chances, they will use them more often than not. Nevertheless, I thought that Atletico is going to bring up their ugly style and defend the 2 goals lead with their foul tricks. But they didn't or Barcelona didn't allow them to.
An exciting game for sure and good to see some goals here. Would have been too bad if it ended like 1-1.
