Atletico Madrid host rivals Barcelona at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium tonight in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg. Based on all three meetings this season, goals are effectively guaranteed and Real Madrid, who overcame an almighty scare against Real Sociedad last night, will be watching on to discover their opponents in next month's final.

The competition has become Atleti's last realistic chance to claim silverware this season having suffered an agonising Champions League exit on penalties and falling off the pace in the LaLiga title race within the last three weeks. Barca, meanwhile, are still unbeaten across all competitions in 2025 and remain on the hunt to complete a treble.

In the first leg of this cup tie at the end of February, a classic unfolded at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium as both Atletico and Barcelona let two-goal leads slip to end up drawing 4-4, setting up an intriguing clash in the Spanish capital as we will soon discover if it will be an all-Madrid or an El Clasico Copa del Rey final.
