- On Wednesday, Barcelona hosts Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou for the Champions League quarterfinal first leg, pitting the club's 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal against veteran attacking threats.
- The Spanish rivals meet for the fifth time this season, with Barcelona winning three of four previous encounters, including a 2-1 away victory at the Metropolitano last Saturday that strengthened its La Liga lead.
- Barcelona has not lost at Camp Nou against Atletico since 2006 and scored 33 goals in nine home matches this year, while Atletico remain winless in their last six Champions League knockout matches away from home.
- Following their last-16 victories, Barcelona destroyed Newcastle United 8-3 on aggregate for a third consecutive quarterfinal appearance, while Atletico advanced by dispatching Tottenham Hotspur 7-5; Diego Simeone's side eliminated Barcelona at this stage in 2014 and 2016.
