Atletico Madrid vs FC Barcelona Copa Del Rey 2024-25 Semi-final 2 Second Leg Match Preview: Head-to-head, Possible Lineups and Fantasy XI Prediction
Read the full match preview of the Atletico Madrid vs FC Barcelona clash tonight in the Copa Del Rey 2024-25 Semi-final 2, Second Leg at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
Atletico Madrid are set to host FC Barcelona in a fiery second-leg game in the Copa Del Rey 2024-25 Semi-final 2, as a nail-biting encounter will unfold tonight at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
The tie is currently poised in a thrilling position with the Copa Del Rey final at stake after the teams shared the spoils in a 4-4 draw on 26 February, in the first leg at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.
Real Madrid have sealed their passage to the finals following another thrilling 4-4 draw against Real Sociedad, advancing 5-4 in aggregate. The second semi-final tonight will set up a potential El Clascio or Madrid Derby in the Copa Del Rey 2024-25 Final on April 26 at the Estadio La Cartuja in Sevilla.
From possible starting XIs to Fantasy predictions, here is everything you need to know about the Atletico Madrid vs FC Barcelona Second Leg match in the Copa Del Rey 2024-25 Semi-final 2.
They failed to keep up a two-goal advantage to lose 4-2 in their home league match against league-leaders Barcelona, before they came back from the international break with a 1-1 draw against Espanyol in an away match. Consequently, the Copa del Rey is Atletico's best hope to lift a trophy this season as they will be seeking to win the tournament for the first time since 2012-13.
However, head coach Diego Simeone must look for the best combination before fielding his eleven tonight. Veteran midfielder Koke is set to miss this game, whereas Robin Le Normand is doubtful. Forward Angel Correawill serve the third of a five-match ban.
The semi-final tie with Barcelona is perfectly balanced after Atletico scored two late goals to earn a 4-4 draw in last month's away leg, though the Rojiblancos may find themselves tensed by the fact that they have not advanced beyond their previous three Copa del Rey semi-final ties.

Pedri, the young FC Barcelona midfielder, has drawn serious interest from the reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City, who are reportedly ready to offer a whopping €100 million for the Spanish midfielder.
According to El Nacional, former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, who is currently at the helm of Man City, has conveyed his interest to the Club's upper echelons to rope in the 22-year-old midfielder.
🚨🚨| JUST IN: Manchester City are interested in signing Pedri.

Pedri has been enjoying a great season at FC Barcelona, having scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in 44 appearances for the Catalan giants this season. However, his contribution goes beyond the goal involvements, which shows why he has won eight Man of the Match awards in his last ten games for the club.
The 22-year-old midfielder is currently on a mega five-year contract with Barcelona that runs until June 2030. Pedri's contract also includes a release clause set at €1 billion, implying his utmost importance in building the long-term planning of FC Barcelona.

However, Pedri is currently valued at €120 million, according to transfermarkt, which is significantly higher than what Manchester City are keen to offer.
The English club has reportedly assessed all the financial aspects and feasibilities of the bid and are prepared to put forward a €100 million transfer fee offer to Barcelona.
Despite the reports, Pedri has not shown any interest in leaving the Blaugrana colours since joining the club from Las Palmas in September 2019, whereas Barcelona will also not be very keen to let Pedri leave.
With the potential departure of key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne said to be imminent, Pep Guardiola is looking to rejuvenate his midfield structure while keeping an eye on Pedri. Nico Gonzalez, another former Barcelona midfielder, was acquired by Man City in February 2025.
