Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
Wednesday's Champions League action sees an all-Spanish tie with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid meeting at the Camp Nou.
The two sides have previous this season, having faced off three times already in domestic league and cup competitions.
Both overcame Premier League opposition to reach the last eight, with Barcelona ruthlessly brushing aside Newcastle United with an 8-3 aggregate victory, while Atleti's 5-2 first leg victory left Tottenham with a near-impossible task that they were unable to complete.
You have to go back to October of 2025 to find Barcelona's last home defeat, and the hosts will certainly be full of confidence in front of a buoyant Camp Nou crowd.

Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid - the key men
Lamine Yamal - Barcelona W
We could try and be clever here and go off-piste by picking someone other than Barcelona's no.10, but he is simply their key man.
It is easy to forget that he is still only 18 years old, with nine goal contributions in eight Champions League appearances this season.
Atletico's Matteo Ruggeri is likely to be the man tasked with limiting Yamal's influence on the game - something very few succeed in doing.
And with Barcelona sweating on the fitness of Raphinha, there will be added expectation on last year's Ballon D'or runner-up.
Ademola Lookman - Atlético Madrid
@Atleti
An awful lot is made of Barcelona's approach, or lack of, when it comes to the game's defensive side.
They have become notorious for their ultra-high line, attempting to spend the majority of matches in possession of the ball, and in their opponent's half.
But when the ball is inevitably turned over, there are large gaps to be exploited in-behind their backline.
Lookman has made a positive start to life in red and white since his January move, and Simeone will certainly be looking to his pace on the counter-attack.
Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid prediction
It would be foolish to expect anything but entertainment. When these two sides meet, there is rarely a surplus of goals or drama.
With Atletico running out 4-3 aggregate winners in their recent Copa Del Rey semi-final clash, Simeone's men will certainly back their ability to hurt Barcelona in transition.
The home side will need to take the initiative, with a cauldron atmosphere at the Wanda Metropolitana awaiting in the second leg.
My crystal ball is telling us there is Yamal 'masterclass' on the horizon.
Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Atletico Madrid
