Atletico Madrid v Barcelona: Commentary, updates, goals and stats in Champions League

The sixth and final clash of the season between these two teams carries huge significance.

Atlético Madrid have a two-goal advantage from a controversial first game at Camp Nou last week and are favourites to advance to a Champions League semi-final meeting with either Arsenal or Sporting CP.

Hansi Flick’s side crushed cross-town rivals Espanyol 4-1 at the weekend to extend their lead at the top of the Spanish top-flight to nine points while Atleti were beaten 2-1 at Sevilla.
