Barcelona vs Athletico Madrid- Copa Del Rey-Quarter Finals

Barcelona Vs Athletico Madrid-Copa Del Rey

The Spanish Copa Del Rey reaches to it's Quarter Final stage. Out of the three tycoon teams in Spain only two of them are going forward for the Quarter Finals.

It's strange to see that the defending champs; Real Madrid have been knocked out of the league by the Defending Liga BBVA Champs; Athletico De Madrid.

So now,the the tycoon teams which have qualified are FC Barcelona and Athletico De Madrid.

The draws of the Copa Del Rey this year have been very very strange as the important clashes are getting over in the Round of 16 and the Quarter Finals.
There's a very big chance for and under-rated team like Espanyol to win this year's Copa Del Rey.

As we see that the Copa Del Rey draws have been out, Barcelona faces Athletico Madrid with the First Leg between them at Barcelona's home ground CAMP NOU.

Barcelona faces Athletico Madrid at the Camp Nou on 21st Jan,2015 at 22 00 hours CET(2 30 hours IST).

Someone would never ever think that Quarter Finals would be between them, but now no changes and the draws are finalised.

FC Barcelona would be looking up for a win in their home ground, so as they wouldn't face problem in their away clash against Athletico Madrid.

Whereas Athletico Madrid would like to win against Barcelona at their home ground, CAMP NOU so that they get their important Away Goals and then they have an upper hand at VICENTE CALDERON.

The last time the Barcelona and the Athletico's player met

With the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar, Mario Mandzukic, Antoinne Griezmann and Fernando Torres would make the match more interesting for those who would watch it.
It's expected to be a cracker of the contest as both the teams are in sublime form with Barcelona beating Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 and Athletico Madrid beating Granada 2-0.
The favourites for the match are FC Barcelona because of their Fantastic records at Camp Now,where Athleti's coach Diego Simeone would be looking for a strong win.
The two main important players in the match will be Lionel Messi who recently scored a hat-trick against Deportivo and Fernando Torres who recently scored a brace against Real Madrid .
