FC Barcelona will be gunning for a spot in the finals of the Copa del Rey when they take on Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final tie later tonight.
The first leg, played at Montjuic, ended in a 4-4 draw, meaning both teams go into tonight’s clash at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, on level terms with everything to play for.

Ahead of the trip to Madrid, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has announced the squad list of players he will have at his disposal.
Dani Olmo joins the list of absentees for Barça following his injury last weekend. He will miss the game along with Andreas Christensen, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal.
Raphinha, who did not play any part in the last two games, is fully fit and expected to start against Los Rojiblancos, as is Pau Cubarsi, who has been allowed sufficient time to recover from a slight ankle sprain.
Flick will have some tough decisions to make, though, especially with regard to the attacking midfield position where he must choose one between Fermin Lopez, Gavi, and Pablo Torre.

Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres will also contest for a spot in the lineup, with the former being in top form and the latter having scored a lot of goals in the cup competition this season.
