Knock-out football, innit... Juve and Atletico (or Barca) are better teams than Real Madrid but it'll be Real probably in the semis.

1 - Barcelona have won just one of their last 6 Champions League games against Spanish teams (D3 L2). Battle.

And poor old Atleti. Never get it easy in CL quarter-final draws. Add to this the sense that Barça appear to have worked them out...

"

Time for Simeone to come up with a successful plan at the 7th attempt. Luis Enrique with it over him in all six games they’ve met. 6 and 0.

Barcelona-Atletico will be like one of those YouTube videos where they drop lava on ice.
