The great positive news for the red-and-white team is led by Marc Pubill, who does return to the list and is available again at a key moment in the season. The fullback/defender hadn’t played since March 14 and his return represents an important reinforcement for a defense that arrives under pressure for a date of the highest difficulty. Alongside him Rodrigo Mendoza also returns, while players like Johnny Cardoso and Pablo Barrios remain out; additionally, Giménez also does not travel due to discomfort.

The match between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid will be held this Wednesday, April 8, 2026 at 9:00 PM at the Spotify Camp Nou, which will be the first chapter of a knockout tie that will be decided next week at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. The red-and-white club itself has framed this clash as the “first act” of a highly demanding quarterfinal, just a few days after the latest league encounter between the two teams.

With Oblak out, the focus will inevitably be on Musso, who has performed reliably during the Slovenian goalkeeper’s absence. Meanwhile, Pubill’s return gives Simeone some breathing room at a decisive point in the season, with the Champions League, La Liga, and the Copa final tightening Atlético’s schedule. The Colchonero squad will travel to Barcelona intending to survive the first leg and leave everything open for the return leg at home.
