🔴 Atletico-Barça | Official XIs✅ Simeone: Yamal wants 1v1? I'll send 6

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona face off for the 6th and final time this season: at the Metropolitano, the blaugrana must overturn the 2-0 first-leg deficit to reach the semifinals. A difficult task, but one that in the Copa del Rey came down to just a one-goal margin: 4-0 in the first leg, 3-0 in the second, and Atletico reached the final.

The colchoneros have not reached the semifinals since 2017, while Barça made it there last year: both teams were knocked out at that very stage, losing to Real Madrid and Inter.

😂 Simeone: "I’ll put 5-6 men on Yamal"

Before the match, Diego Simeone spoke in the mixed zone, responding to Lamine Yamal, who had provoked him by asking to be left 1v1.

"He wants just one man on him? I think I’ll put 5 or 6 on him."
