**JUMP TO:**
Atletico Madrid and [Barcelona](https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/barcelona) lock horns in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal tie on Thursday.
The Catalans have enjoyed a dominant recent record against Atleti, winning eight of the past 10 meetings in all competitions. That includes both legs of the semifinals last season, when a remarkable 4-4 draw at Camp Nou was followed by a 1-0 win for Barca in the capital.
Hansi Flick's team are still targeting a quadruple after winning the Supercopa de Espana in January, while Atleti will be determined to keep alive their hopes of a first trophy since they were crowned La Liga champions in 2021.

Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona **team news**
-------------------------------------------
### Atletico Madrid team news
* **Pablo Barrios** is out with a muscle injury, while **Johnny Cardoso** is not in the squad after sitting out the loss to Real Betis last time out due to a minor issue.
* **Nico Gonzalez** is available and in the squad. Copa goalkeeper Juan Musso is expected to start, while Diego Simeone could field a very attack-minded lineup featuring **Antoine Griezmann**, **Julian Alvarez**, **Ademola Lookman** and **Giuliano Simeone**.
### Barcelona team news
* **Raphinha** and **Marcus Rashford** are both sidelined due to injury, so Hansi Flick has some thinking to do regarding the left side of his attack. **Dani Olmo** or **Fermin Lopez** could fill that role, which could see **Marc Bernal** deployed in central midfield alongside **Frenkie de Jong**.
