Barcelona wins but exits after consecutive red cards, Yamal scores in 4-minute flash, Fran assists, left winger injured.

At 3:00 AM Beijing time on April, the Champions League quarter-final second leg sees Atletico Madrid facing Barcelona at home, after Atletico's 2-0 away victory in the first match.

In the first half, Barcelona had a dream start: Lenglet's back-pass was intercepted, Ferran provided the through-ball assist, and Yamal scored a solo goal just 4 minutes into the game. Olmo then assisted Ferran with a through-ball for another solo goal, completing an assist-and-score, bringing the aggregate score to 2-2 within 24 minutes. However, Atletico's new signing Lukman, assisted by Llorente, scored to make it 3-2 on aggregate for Atletico. In the second half, Ferran's goal was disallowed for offside, Eric Garcia was red-carded after a VAR review for a push from behind, leaving Barcelona with fewer players unable to change the score.

Finally, Barcelona won 2-1 away against Atletico, but with an aggregate score of 2-3, they exited and missed the Champions League semi-finals. Atletico will face the winner of Sporting vs Arsenal in the semi-finals.

In Atletico vs Barcelona, Simeone deployed a 442 formation: Griezmann and Alvarez as the twin strikers, with Simeone Jr., Llorente, Koke, and Lukman forming the four midfielders. Molina, Lenormand, Lenglet, and Ruggeri made up the four defenders, with Musso as goalkeeper; the starting lineup's value was 276 million euros.Flick used a 4231 formation: Ferran as the forward, supported by Olmo behind, with Fermin and Yamal on the wings. Pedri and Gavi paired as defensive midfielders. Cancelo, Martin, Eric Garcia, and Conde formed the four defenders, with Joan Garcia as goalkeeper; the starting lineup's value was 764 million euros.

In this match, the home team Atletico Madrid focused on solid defense and counter-attacks.Barcelona dominated the attack, holding over seventy percent (71%) possession, but both teams had 15 shots, with Atletico having 5 on target and Barcelona 8 on target.The 1-2 score was quite fair; Barcelona exited despite winning, leaving with dignity. Congratulations to Atletico for advancing to the Champions League semi-finals!

Barcelona's aggregate 2-3 loss to Atletico and exit from the Champions League semi-finals was due not only to red cards in both home and away matches leaving them short-handed, but fundamentally because their left-wing attack was nearly paralyzed. Yamal on the right wing performed impeccably in both legs, but without Rafinha, Rashford in the first leg and Fermin in the second could not replace Rafinha's tactical value. It can be said that the March FIFA virus harmed Barcelona, with Rafinha injured during national team duty at the most critical moment. Barcelona lost honorably, leaving with dignity. This summer window, they must seriously consider Rafinha's successor; Rashford cannot sustain Barcelona's left-wing attack, and his buyout value isn't high.
