Welcome to the Evening Standard’s Supercopa de Espana semi-final coverage of Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid LIVE tonight.
Atletico will be out for revenge after Lionel Messi‘s superb 86th-minute effort condemned them to a 1-0 home defeat when these two teams last met in LaLiga on December 1.
Leaders and defending champions Barcelona currently boast a five-point domestic lead over third-placed Atletico, who qualify for this competition by virtue of their runners-up spot in 2018/19.
Tonight’s winner will face Real Madrid in Sunday’s final. With kick-off scheduled for 7pm GMT, follow all the goals and action with Ben Hayward.
