Atletico Madrid hosts Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal on Tuesday afternoon, with the score tied 4-4 on aggregate following a thrilling first leg.
That classic first leg took place more than a month ago on February 25 and included two early and two late goals from Atleti, who salvaged a 4-4 draw via an Alexander Sorloth equalizer in stoppage time.
Diego Simeone’s side jumped out to a 2-0 lead within six minutes but eventually fell behind 4-2 with 15 minutes to play, only to storm back to share the spoils with their La Liga rivals.
The Copa del Rey could serve as Atletico’s only shot at a trophy this season, having already bowed out of the UEFA Champions League on penalties to Real Madrid and sitting nine points off La Liga leaders Barcelona.
Barca, meanwhile, are eyeing a historic treble, and are the current favorites to win both the UEFA Champions League and La Liga. A semifinal triumph on Tuesday would match them up with Real Madrid in the cup final on April 26.
