Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona LIVE
Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in nine years despite a 2-1 home defeat by Barcelona in a thrilling encounter on Tuesday, advancing 3-2 on aggregate after their 2-0 first-leg win at the Camp Nou. Barca struck twice in the first half to level the tie. Lamine Yamal capitalised on a Clement Lenglet error to open the scoring in the fourth minute, finishing neatly past goalkeeper Juan Musso after Ferran Torres set him up.
Torres then made it 2-0 in the 24th minute, racing clear onto Dani Olmo's pass and driving the ball into the top corner. Barcelona dominated possession after the break and had a third effort ruled out for offside against Torres, while Pedri and Gavi controlled midfield.
Barca finished with 10 men after a last-man challenge brought a red card for defender Eric Garcia and Atletico held on to secure a place in the last four against Arsenal or Sporting who play on Wednesday with the London side leading 1-0.

Standard Sport prediction
18:10 , Oli GentBarcelona will rightly believe that the tie is still firmly in the balance despite the two-goal deficit, but must be at their best at both ends of the pitch to have any chance of advancing.
Atetico will try to shut up shop, which they were once masters of but more recently struggle to do so, and Barcelona will be confident of scoring the two goals to level matters. It all depends on if they can keep it tight at the back while needing to breach Atletico more than once.
