Atlético have reached the Uefa Champions League quarter-finals for three consecutive seasons, and have faced Spanish opposition on each occasion.

Kick off: 7pm

Diego Godin is fit to face Barca while Alex Vidal will be absent for Barcelona.
In other games, Bayern Munich welcomes Benfica in what should be a straight forward game for Pep Guardiola’s charges though they will be without defenders Holger Badstuber and Jerome Boateng.
