Player(s) to watch:

• Lamine Yamal scored his first-ever professional hat-trick in the last game against Villarreal, and will be very confident going into this match. In the first leg, his performance was awful. He needs to be at his best in the second leg. His performance will determine Barcelona’s attack. He will have to get past Ruggeri again and again, as the Italian didn’t allow that to happen in the previous game. This season, he has played 30 matches, in which Yamal scored 16 goals and provided 12 assists.

• Marcos Llorente, without any doubt, has been the best player for Atletico Madrid this season. From the beginning, he has been consistent and has been a crucial part of Simeone’s tactics. Llorente is an underrated player who leads the team by example and brings in a lot of energy and intensity on the pitch. This season, he has played 30 matches, in which he scored three goals and provided three assists.
