Why Barcelona Must Score Four Goals to Overturn Atletico in Champions League
Barcelona face a daunting task in the quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid. Trailing by two goals from the first match, they must score at least four times to avoid a penalty shoot-out. Defensive worries have plagued Barcelona all season. They have conceded in every Champions League game and gone 14 matches without a clean sheet, leaving them exposed against an attack-minded Atletico side featuring Ademola Lookman. With head-to-head encounters so tight this term, Barcelona’s only realistic route to the semis is a high-scoring performance. Tactical tweaks may help, but outscoring Atletico remains their clearest path to progression.
