In response, the semifinals between these teams promise to be unpredictable after a fascinating draw (4: 4) in the first match that has passed last month, and both teams hope that they will be able to go to the finale to play with the winner of the Real Madrid – Real Syssiozad.
Athletico season has deteriorated markedly after his dream of winning the Champions League has been destroyed, and the hopes of La League’s title were seriously shaken.
Diego Simeone’s team began a difficult period with a guest lesion from Real Madrid and Hatfe in the Champions League and La League, respectively. Yes, the “mattresses” won the quarter-finals of the European Cup, but their path to the Champions League ended in defeat in the penalty series. He then lost the advantage of two goals and lost the leader of the Barcelona Championship, and after an international break he played a draw with Espanyol.
Thus, the Atletico series, without victory in the championship, continued to three matches. Simeone’s team lags from “Blaugrans” by nine points for nine matches by the end of the championship.
As a result, the Cup is the best chance to win the trophy this season, and Los-Kolchoneros expects to win this tournament for the first time since the 2012/13 season. The victory over Barcelona is quite possible after Athletico scored two goals at the end of the first game and saved a draw, although the hopes of Athletico would not help the fact that they failed to leave the last three semifinals of the Spanish Cup.
Unlike Athletico, Barcelona still seeks to add three more trophies to the Spanish Super Bowl, which she won in January. “Blauhranas” has been published a series of 20 matches without defeats in all tournaments (17 victories and three draws) since they have lost in December at the Atletico Championship. Currently, Barcelona heads La League’s standings, participates in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League and is only one victory from entering the Cup finals, for the first time since the victory in the 2020/21 season.
The Hans-Diter Flik team has already won a couple of domestic victories after an international break, breaking Osasun and then Giron. However, the play with the Osasun is still mentioned in the headlines of the newspapers and can turn for “blue-granate” technical defeat.
As a result, Barcelona became the first team of La League to score 139 goals in 45 official matches in one season, which will give her confidence before traveling to the Metropolitan. The Catalan Grand won all three previous field matches against Atletico since the lesion in La League in October 2021.
Blaugranas’s confidence will also add the fact that they went further after the eight of the nine previous semifinals of the Cup, although their only failure during this period occurred in the last semi-finals of the 20122/23 season when they lost Real Madrid.
