Barcelona will be the favourites to win this match based on recent form and statistics. Although statistics won't have much impact, Barcelona's recent form has been excellent which makes them even stronger to win against Atletico Madrid. We have always seen Barcelona dominate in the Copa del Rey and especially when they are playing against Atletico Madrid, their margin of victory will definitely be heavy. Barcelona might win the match by 2 goals in Leg 1.
In this match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, we hope that both teams can play well. If you try to put a team ahead in this match based on statistics, it might be very difficult. Actually I watched a match before in which Barcelona lost to Atletico Madrid, maybe everyone knows about that match. Barcelona Football Club is currently performing well in La Liga, on the other hand Atletico Madrid Football Club is also able to perform well in La Liga.
Since this is an important match like a semi-final, we want Barcelona to be able to snatch victory from their opponents today. In my opinion Barcelona should try to take full advantage of their home ground in this match.
What a match? 45 minutes into the first half and 5 goals have now been scored with Barcelona making a 3-goal comeback after being 2 goals down.
Atletico surprised with their 2 quick goals in the first 6 minutes where Barcelona seemed to be still not too ready in attack but 2 quick goals in the span of 2 minutes in the 19th and 21st minutes clearly made the situation a little unexpected and the 3rd goal scored by Inigo Martinez now makes Barcelona turn the lead over Atletico in the first half this time.
Honestly, this was beyond my expectations as I felt that they would try a few things including stalling the game but what happened in the first half was really interesting to see.
Now I just expect the second half to play in the same pattern because it's very exciting for a big match where points are decisive to do with a game with this much tension.
