And so we meet again. Four days on from their La Liga clash in the Spanish capital, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will do it all again - this time at the Camp Nou in the Champions League.
Barca ran out 2-1 winners at the weekend, with the red card shown to Atletico's Nico Gonzalez on the stroke of half-time a turning point in the game. Diego Simeone's side will be looking to avenge that defeat on the continental stage, but a trip to the Camp Nou is one of the hardest assignments in European football right now.
Atletico recently beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, but the away leg ended in a 3-0 loss. They will have to show more defensive solidity on Wednesday if they want to keep the tie alive ahead of the return fixture.
Barca will dominate possession and take the game to Atletico, who will aim to frustrate their opponents by slowing down the tempo and taking the sting out of their attacks. Patience will be key for Hansi Flick's team, whose potency in the final third is likely to make the difference.
