Ahead of what is a blockbuster second-leg showdown on Tuesday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Bet Builder Tips.
Atletico looking to make another heavyweight statement
While Atletico Madrid might travel to Catalonia on Tuesday night pencilled in as a real underdog contender, Simeone’s side made an almighty first-leg statement in the Spanish capital on February 12th.
Storming their way to that remarkable 4-0 romp on home soil, Tuesday’s guests already have one-foot firmly in the final of this season’s Copa del Rey.
Extending on their Champions League adventure last week as they secured a rollercoaster 7-4 aggregate victory against Belgium-based giants Club Brugge, Atletico should also be excited by their clinical performances in the final third.
Despite getting their European play-off campaign underway with a dramatic 3-3 stalemate over in Brugge on February 18th, Simeone’s free-scoring attack have bagged 12 goals in their last four appearances across all competitions.
Likewise, winning their previous three appearances by an aggregate score of 9-3, this is the first time since opening the New Year that Atletico have recorded a trio of consecutive wins.

Barca seeking an iconic miracle in Catalonia
Completely blown away when they travelled to the Spanish capital last month, Barcelona return to Catalonia on Tuesday night seeking what would be an almighty Copa del Rey turnaround.
However, last seen over the weekend securing a thumping 4-1 victory against Villarreal, Hansi Flick’s side have found a route back to top spot in the La Liga standings.
With their sole focus now fixed on defending their domestic crown this season, the former Bayern Munich boss has seen his superstar squad gain a reputation for their continued dominance on home soil.
In fact, Barcelona have won all of their previous 13 consecutive showdowns in Catalonia across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to a 2-1 defeat against reigning European champions PSG on October 1st.
It should also be highlighted, Flick’s side secured a routine 3- win when they welcomed Atletico Madrid to Catalonia for a La Liga matchup on December 2nd.

Lookman’s stellar start to life in Madrid
Completing a dramatic Deadline Day switch to the Spanish capital, Ademola Lookman has certainly hit the ground running since joining Spain’s elite.
Arriving from Italian outfit Atalanta for a reported fee in the region of £30million, the Nigerian ace has made an immediate impact under Simeone’s guidance and has rightfully received plenty of plaudits.
Bagging a first-leg strike against Barca on February 12th, the one-time Everton attacker has already registered seven direct goal contributions (four goals, three assists) in his first eight appearances for the Spanish heavyweights.
Quickly become a key figure in Madrid, the 28-year-old will once again be looking to steal all of the headlines in Catalonia on Tuesday night.
Meeting a Barca defence who have recorded just a pair of clean sheets from any of their last eight matchups across all fronts, Lookman will spearhead Simeone’s charge in midweek.
