Barcelona will be wary of Atletico backlash despite being 2-1 up from the first leg tie. Luis Enrique's men will want to keep their journey for a title defence in line and will want to be the second Spanish side to book semis berth after Real Madrid did on Tuesday.


Atletico Madrid meanwhile, come from a 3-1 thrashing of Espanyol in La Liga and could not have asked for a better preparation ahead of this crucial second-leg encounter.


Diego Simeone will miss services of suspended Fernando Torres and a lot will depend upon Antoine Griezman to register swift play upfront.


Barca will want their dream trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar to come good once again. Suarez was the hero of the first game after netting two goals.


Here is all you need to know about the second leg tie.


Likely Line-ups:


Atletico Madrid: Jon Oblak; Juanfran, Diego Godin, Hernandez, Luis; Koke, Gabi, Tiago, Saul; Antoine Griezman, Carrasco
