Barcelona, Atletico Madrid Will Wear Away Kits at Home in Champions League Clash

It will be a very strange sight when Barcelona and Atletico Madrid do battle in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Atletico will visit Barcelona for the first leg on Tuesday, but in what is very much a football oddity, Barcelona will not be wearing their famous and traditional home kits on their own pitch at the Camp Nou.

Instead, according to Barcelona's website, UEFA requested that both clubs wear their second kits in each leg "to improve visibility and clearly differentiate the teams for both referees and spectators."

The same bizarre scene will play out at the Vicente Calderon in the second leg on April 13, when Atletico will also wear their dark-blue away colours on their own ground.

Barcelona will wear their red and gold "Senyera" kits for both legs.

The last time Barcelona wore something other than their home kits at home in the Champions League was in 2008 against Wisla Krakow, when they also wore yellow kits.

When they've played in the league this year, both teams have just worn their traditional home looks.
