Barcelona welcomes domestic rival Atletico Madrid to Camp Nou for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie on Wednesday, April 8.
The match kicks off at 21:00 CET. For fans tracking the schedule, this time translates exactly to 16:00 Brasília.
American viewers have a massive variety of live broadcast options. Coverage is available across Paramount+, TUDN USA, DAZN USA, Univision, TUDN.com, Univision NOW, the TUDN App, and ViX.
This fierce all-Spanish rivalry brings an incredible storyline to the European stage. Barcelona has historically enjoyed more success, but Atletico holds a crucial psychological edge in this tournament.
In their only two previous Champions League meetings (2013/14 and 2015/16 quarter-finals), Atleti emerged victorious to eliminate Barça. Additionally, Diego Simeone’s squad recently knocked Barcelona out of this season’s Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Expect an explosive match featuring brilliant attacking talents. Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has scored in three straight Champions League games, while Atleti’s Julian Alvarez boasts an incredible 14 goals in his last 17 competition appearances.
Current campaign numbers show absolute firepower:
- Barcelona: Six wins, two draws, and two losses, scoring 29 goals and conceding 17. They advanced after destroying Newcastle United 7-2 in their round of 16 second leg.
- Atletico Madrid: Six wins, two draws, and four defeats. They scored a prolific 31 goals but allowed 24, recently surviving a wild 7-5 aggregate shootout against Tottenham.
The bookmakers favor the home side. Here are the highlighted bet365 odds:
- First leg result: Barcelona is priced at -189, an Atletico victory sits at +425, and a draw is +375.
- To qualify: Barça is favored at -303 compared to Atleti’s +225.
- Both teams to score and match result: Barcelona win pays out at +160, a draw at +400, and an Atleti upset at +650.
- Tournament winner: Barcelona is listed at +450, while Atletico Madrid is a longshot at +2000.
