Copa del Rey semi-final second leg between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, scheduled for April 2, 2025, at the Estadio Metropolitano, promises to be a highly competitive encounter . Following a thrilling first leg that ended in a 4-4 draw, both teams have much at stake. Atlético Madrid finds themselves in dire need of silverware this season after being eliminated from the Champions League and struggling in La Liga . Their motivation to win will likely center around key players such as Griezmann and Álvarez, who can exploit Barcelona's defensive vulnerabilities.
Atletico Madrid will be meeting. This time they square off in the Copa Del Rey semi-final return leg, a tie that’s currently balanced at 4-4. We have the prediction for this match to be hosted by Atletico. 
The hosts haven't had a lucky streak in their recent matches and in their last two meetings with Barcelona as well. Across their last five matches, Atletico’s only win had a sour ending as they eventually lost on post-match penalties. 
Los Colchoneros have suffered three outright defeats in those five matches one of them against Barcelona.

Barca, on the contrary, are going strong on all fronts and have already secured silverware under Hansi Flick. Back-to-back La Liga wins after the international break means they boast a three-point lead at the summit, and they'll soon take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Barcelona arrives with an impressive unbeaten streak of twenty matches and is viewed as the favorite to progress . However, they are facing significant challenges due to injuries affecting critical players like ter Stegen and Olmo. The absence of these players may hinder their performance against a determined Atlético side. Consequently, both teams will need to adapt their strategies effectively to secure victory .
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Musso; Llorente, Gimenez, Lenglet, Reinildo; Simeone, Barrios, De Paul, Lino; Alvarez, Griezmann
Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Gavi, Raphinha; Lewandowski
