Atletico Madrid host Barcelona in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tonight.
Two late goals from Diego Simeone’s side rescued a 4-4 draw in a thrilling first leg. Atleti were 2-0 ahead inside six minutes, before recovering from 4-2 down to level the tie. All three meetings with Barcelona this season have had match-altering stoppage-time goals.
Atletico are in need of a lift, however, with their season in danger of imploding. The Rojiblancos exited the Champions League to Real Madrid on penalties and have fallen nine points behind Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
