""Barcelona are the best team in the world. They won La Liga playing very well, just like last season," he said, as quoted by SPORT."
""And the only thing I could think of while watching the match was: 'We've knocked this team out twice, my goodness!'" Atletico had Barcelona's number in knockout"
"The two sides faced each other six times across all competitions this season - twice in La Liga, twice in the Copa del Rey and twice in the UEFA Champions League. In the league, Barcelona clearly had the edge, as the first meeting ended in a dominant 3-1 victory for the Blaugrana at home, while the return fixture saw Flick's side once again come out on top with a 2-1 win."
"But once the games became knockout ties, the story changed completely. In the Copa del Rey semi-final, Atletico Madrid stunned Barcelona in the first leg by racing into a huge 4-0 advantage, putting themselves in control of the tie. Barcelona tried to respond in the second leg and managed to win 3-0, but it was not enough to overturn the damage already done."
