Atletico Madrid: Diego Simeone is going in with the same 4-4-2 formations that won them the last leg in Camp Nou. Alvarez and Griezmann will be the forwards with Llorente and Koke in the centre of midfield. Simeone and Lookman are placed on the wings and Molina and Ruggeri at full back. Le Normand and Lenglet will look after the defence.
Torres will play as the attacker in Barcelona's 4-2-3-1 formation. Olmo, Lopez and Yamal will support the attack, while Gavi and Pedri will be the midfield pair. Cancelo and Kounde will be the full backs and Martin and Garcia to play at Central Defence.
Going by the way Lamine Yamal delivered for Barca in their last La Liga outing against Espanyol, the 18 -year-old could have a huge role to play in the second leg tonight. Let's put it this way: if Blaugaran are to overturn this deficit, they would need their teen phenom to do something special.
Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and the ball is set is play. An electrifying atmosphere around the stadium makes it a perfect night for football.
Goaaalll! Barcelona's Lamine Yamal breaks the ball, poor defence by Atletico Madrid which results in Yamal being one on one with the goalkeeper and he collects himself and puts the ball into the goal to get Barcelona 1-0 ahead in the game.
Atletico 0-1 Barcelona 4'
Goaaallll! It's happening for Barcelona. Dani Olmo gives a simple pass to Ferran Torres inside the D, who in return collects himself and fires the ball inside the right post. The Blaugrana are 2-0 ahead and they have reduced the deficit of the first leg to nil.
Atletico 0-2 Barcelona 24'
Goallll! Ademolan Lookman gets a short pass from Marcos Llorente inside the box and he launches an incredible shot inside the box to cut the deficit into half. Atletico Madrid strikes back just minutes after conceding two goals.
Atletico 1-2 Barcelona 31'
The referee blows the whistle and that marks the end of a dramatic first half. Barcelona got a remarkable two lead by goals from Lamine Yamal (4') and Ferran Torris (24') but Ademolan Lookman pulled it back with a sensational strike (31'). The score line stays at 1-2 at half-time.

Garcia had an awkward fall and looks like in pain. He's getting some medical attention here. Fortunately, he's not hurt to go out of field and will continue.
Ferran Torres fired a rebound inside the top right corner of the goal and his teammates went into frenzy but their celebrations were cut short as the referee went for a VAR review and eventually ruled out the goal as it was an offside.

Play had moved on after Eric Garcia’s controversial challenge, but referee Clément Turpin gets a message and signals for VAR. After reviewing the incident, he decides to show Eric Garcia a red card.

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) attempts to score as he rises near the penalty spot and heads the ball to the middle of the goal. Juan Musso pulls off a comfortable save to stop the ball from hitting the net.
