The Wanda Metropolitano stadium will host a fiery football match between Atlético Madrid and their guests Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday (23:00 UAE time).Atlético Madrid enters the match with a comfortable advantage after they managed to stun the Catalan team at home with a clean 2-0 victory, which puts the squad of Argentine coach Diego Simeone on the verge of reaching the semi-finals to face the winner of the match between Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon, while Barcelona finds itself needing to stage another 'remontada' to save its continental season.Despite Atlético Madrid entering the second leg after three consecutive defeats, the team's character in major moments has been clear, giving it a huge tactical and psychological advantage before the decisive encounter.Atlético Madrid played a tough match against Sevilla at the beginning of the week, losing 1-2, but this result does not reflect the team's true strength, as Simeone made 10 changes to the starting lineup to rest his stars for Tuesday's match, with only goalkeeper Juan Muso remaining from the starting lineup.Atlético has a terrifying record at home this season, achieving six consecutive wins before their recent stumble in the league, and they have failed to score at home in only one match all season, which was against Real Betis in February.In contrast, Barcelona enters the match sitting top of the Spanish league with a 9-point lead over Real Madrid, and quickly regained its balance after the shock of the first leg with a resounding 4-1 win over Espanyol in the 'Catalan derby'.That match saw a brilliant performance from young star Lamine Yamal, who became the youngest player in history to reach 100 matches in La Liga, celebrating this achievement by scoring one goal and providing two assists.
