The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals fixture sees Barcelona host Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou on 8 April 2026 (19:00 UTC). Barcelona arrive with 16 points and a goal difference of 8, while Atletico Madrid have 13 points and a goal difference of 2.
Barcelona Availability
Barcelona face multiple confirmed absences. Marc Bernal (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. Andreas Christensen (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Raphinha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. Frenkie de Jong (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. All four are listed as Missing Fixture, so they are expected not to feature. None of Barcelona’s key Champions League scorers or assist leaders (Fermín, Lamine Yamal, M. Rashford) appear on the injury list, so their main attacking threats remain available.
Atletico Madrid Availability
Atletico Madrid’s concerns are mainly fitness-related. Pablo Barrios (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. J. Cardoso (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. J. M. Gimenez (Injury) is doubtful. Their top attacking contributors, J. Álvarez and A. Sørloth, are not listed as injured or suspended and should be available.
Impact Summary
Barcelona’s absences hit squad depth and midfield balance but do not remove their leading scorers or creators. Atletico Madrid risk disruption in midfield and defence if Barrios, Cardoso, or Gimenez fail to recover, yet their primary attacking output, driven by J. Álvarez’s 8 goals and 4 assists and A. Sørloth’s 5 goals, remains intact.
