Camp Nou will be set ablaze as Atleti’s darling player, Fernando Torres, will be making his return at that venue for the first time since April 2012 when his late goal for ex-club Chelsea abruptly ended Barcelona’s hopes in the UEFA Champion League semi-finals.
Will the Spanish striker produce more wonders on Wednesday after rising to the occasion to send Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid packing in the Last 16 of the Copa del Rey? The MSN trio – Messi, Suarez and Neymar – will be looking to reply to this question with a big ‘No’.
La Pulga has found back his smile and is full of confidence following his record-breaking hat-trick feat last Sunday away to Deportivo La Coruna. The match is set to create fireworks at the Camp Nou as millions of spectators worldwide will have their eyes set on their TV, mobile or computer screens.

The Catalans recently put an end to their unconvincing head-to-head record against the Rojiblancos. Goals from their talismanic trio gunned down Diego Simeone’s defensive set-up. It would be interesting to see how each coach will approach this encounter knowing that the second leg is coming up at the Vicente Calderon, on January 28th.
It must be recalled that Barcelona are building an impressive defensive fortress with eight clean sheets since Christmas. No matter how much bad press they might have received of late with rumours surrounding coach Luis Enrique and star man Leo Messi, the fact remains that the Blaugrana have lost and drawn only once in their last 16 matches in all competitions.
With 14 wins since their shocking defeat at home to Celta Vigo on the first day of November, Barca are set to attack current Spanish Primera Division champions Atletico Madrid with a lot of ideas and confidence. However, their home crowd will need to play the role of a 12th man, knowing just how compact Atletico Madrid are. Diego Simeone’s men enter this Copa del Rey quarter-finals first leg match fresh from defeating Granada 2-0 to maintain their hopes of defending their title in La Liga.
