Barcelona will welcome Atletico Madrid to their temporary home on Tuesday night for the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final.
The Catalan giants booked their spot in the final four courtesy of a 5-0 success over Valencia, while Atletico were 5-0 winners over Getafe in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Both of these teams will enter this match off the back of La Liga wins, with Barcelona beating Las Palmas 1-0, while Atletico recorded a 3-0 victory over Valencia.
Barcelona are currently top of the La Liga table, one point clear of second-placed Atletico, and the pair will now lock horns for a spot in the final of the Copa del Rey against either Real Madrid or Real Sociedad.

Atletico went five games unbeaten against the Catalan side between January 2020 and October 2021, winning three times during that run, including twice in the league.
The capital outfit's success over Barcelona in their last meeting, meanwhile, proved to be their first away victory over the Catalan giants since February 2006.
