Atletico Madrid is in pole position to progress to the Champions League semi-finals as it prepares to take on Barcelona in the second leg of the quarter-final.
Barca had a man sent off during last week's first leg and Atletico took full advantage, with goals from Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth securing a 2-0 win for Diego Simeone's side.
The winner of the clash will face either Arsenal or Sporting Lisbon in the last four – both of which would surely be viewed as very beatable opponents by whichever club progresses in Madrid. In the other semi-final, PSG or Liverpool will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. Here's everything you need to know in order to be able to watch the second leg between Atletico and Barca...

What's been have said
Atletico manager Diego Simeone: ”The match, whatever we imagine, is only in our heads for now until the game starts, and obviously, everything we’ve said is left behind.
"Because if we think we’re going to apply pressure just because we’re playing at home and they play better, it doesn’t happen. The other day (in the first leg), in the first 20 minutes, we had good ball movement. They couldn’t take the ball away from us, and we spent more time in their half, playing better than anyone imagined at the start of the match.
“So, we must keep faith, hoping the team can keep responding the way it is, and have confidence in what we want,”
Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal: “I see myself as one of the leaders, but not the only one. We have world-class players capable of turning the tie around. It’s not just about me ... And if it were just about me, I wouldn’t mind. All my life I’ve had to take on more responsibility than was expected of me. I try to enjoy it. I see it as a strength, not a problem.”
