Barcelona is preparing for a crucial UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against Atlético Madrid, scheduled for April 14, 2026, at 9 PM CET. The stakes are high as Barcelona seeks to overturn a two-goal deficit after losing the first leg 0-2.
The match will take place at the Estadio Metropolitano, the home ground of Atlético Madrid. Referee Clément Turpin from France will officiate the match, with Jérôme Brisard also from France serving as the VAR.
Barcelona’s starting lineup for this critical encounter includes players such as Joan, Kounde, Eric, Martín, Cancelo, Gavi, Pedri, Yamal, Olmo, Fermín, and Ferran. In contrast, Atlético Madrid will field their own strong team featuring Musso, Molina, Le Normand, Lenglet, Ruggeri, Simeone, Llorente, Koke, Lookman, Griezmann, and Alvarez.
To advance to the semi-finals, Barcelona must not only win but do so by at least two goals to level the aggregate score. The match will be broadcast live on TUDN in the USA and TNT Sports 1 in the UK, with online streaming available via Paramount+ in the USA and HBO Max in the UK.
As the match approaches, fans are eager to see if Barcelona can recover from their earlier defeat and secure a place in the next round of the prestigious tournament. The outcome remains uncertain, and further developments are expected as the match date draws near.
