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. Grin

Very funny as hell, wondering how porous their defense could be to have carelessly allowed a 2 goals lead just in 6 minutes, it's really embarrassing and i don't think Barcelona can really get back from these early goals they have conceded because i know how solid Atletico Madrid's defense is. Anyways, the match is still in the early minutes so if Barcelona can score before halftime, then there can still be hopes for them to equalize and maybe win.

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.

Hansi Flick really did a big mistake to play Ferran Torres first, it could have been Robert Lewandowski then substitute him and bring Ferran Torres in the second half though i don't see the development being a major challenge that Barcelona have, they should just be careful of Julian Alvarez and Antoine Greizmann so that they don't score more goals.
