Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid: date, time and where to watch the Champions League quarter-finals in the USA

There will be another chapter in the rivalry between Hansi Flick’s Barcelona and Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid, but this time with a place in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League at stake. Barça hosts the Colchoneros on Wednesday, April 8 at Spotify Camp Nou in what promises to be a genuine heavyweight clash.

Barcelona arrives in strong form after brushing aside Newcastle in relatively comfortable fashion. The aggregate score finished 8-3 in their favor – after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, the Catalan side showed no mercy at home, cruising to a 7-2 win. Now they turn their attention to breaking into the tournament’s final four with momentum firmly on their side.

Atlético Madrid had a tougher route. In a high-scoring tie, Simeone’s team knocked out Tottenham while representing LaLiga with authority. They took control in the first leg with a 5-2 victory, and although Spurs won the return leg 3-2, it was not enough to overturn the deficit. Atlético advanced, but not without exposing some vulnerabilities that Barcelona will look to exploit.

The two sides recently met in LaLiga, where Flick’s men secured three crucial points, capitalizing on a slip by Real Madrid. Goals from Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski, including a late strike, sealed the result in Barcelona’s favor.
