Hello Rank Squad! It's the first Champions League Takeaway of the week, looking back at Tuesday's action from the Second Legs of the Quarter Finals - where both Atletico Madrid and PSG booked their spots in the semis, albeit in very different ways. We start at the Metropolitano, where Barcelona won 2-1 on the night but Atletico held off the storm to qualify 3-2 on aggregate. In one of the great first halves we've seen this season, Barça stormed into a 2-0 lead to tie the match on aggregate, but an Ademola Lookman goal just before the break handed Atleti back the advantage - one which they held onto over the second 45 to make it to the final four for the first time since 2017. In Part Two we head to Anfield, where just as in the first leg, PSG ran out as 2-0 winners over Liverpool to make it a 4-0 aggregate scoreline - but this was a very different encounter to the first leg. The Reds, backed by a raucous Anfield, came out of Arne Slot's self-proclaimed 'Survival Mode' to give the reigning champions a game - something that very much wasn't the case in the first leg. PSG however, march on, clinical in killing the game and defensively steely - this looks far more akin to the side that conquered the continent last time out. Could they do it again? It's Ranks!

Barcelona managed to cut into Atletico Madrid’s lead in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals thanks to goals from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres, while Ademola Lookman scored for the hosts. Barcelona took the pitch at the Metropolitano Stadium with the urgency needed to overturn the 2-0 deficit Atletico Madrid built in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Lamine Yamal scored the opener in the early minutes, and Ferran Torres added a second, but Ademola Lookman responded for the hosts. Yamal capitalized on a mistake by Clement Lenglet in the 4th minute of the first half. The defender attempted a back pass to goalkeeper Juan Musso, but the young Spanish winger intercepted it. The loose ball fell to Ferran Torres, who set up Lamine for the game’s first goal. With that early strike, Barcelona showed they are very much alive in the tie, cutting the deficit to just one goal with most of the match still to be played at the Metropolitano Stadium. That goal increased the tension and sloppiness from the hosts, who were far from the level they showed a week earlier at Camp Nou.

Il Barcellona vince 2-1 contro l'Atletico Madrid nel ritorno dei quarti di finale di Champions, ma esce per via dello 0-2 nella gara d'andata. La squadra del Cholo Simeone avanza in semifinale, decisivo il gol dell'ex attaccante dell'Atalanta Ademola Lookman arrivato alla mezz'ora del primo tempo dopo le reti di Yamal e Ferran Torres. Proprio Lamine è finito al centro di un commento rilasciato da Zvominir Boban commentando la partita negli studi di Sky Sport: l'attaccante spagnolo è rimasto in campo fino al fischio finale, ma secondo l'attuale presidente della Dinamo Zagabria non è riuscito a fare il massimo perché troppo stanco. LE PAROLE DI BOBAN Boban ha commentato così la prestazione di Yamal: "L'ho visto stanco e impreparato, ma alla sua età (18 anni, ndr) non dovrebbe succedere. Nel secondo tempo è stata dura creare qualcosa senza di lui. Anche se alla fine sono riusciti a creare due/tre occasioni anche in dieci; per assurdo, hanno fatto di più dopo l'espulsione di Eric Garcia che non nel resto del secondo tempo, dopo aver dominato il primo. Nei primi 45 minuti è stato quasi disumano per quanto hanno attaccato e creato, poi però nella ripresa non hanno saputo tenere quel ritmo e si è vista la differenza. L'Atletico, invece, a differenza del Barça, è cresciuto col passare del tempo".

Following a big win in the first leg, Atlético Madrid are the clear favorite to secure another victory in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Moreover, captain Koke has sent a strong message to Barcelona ahead of the match, reveling their tactical approach. Atlético Madrid stunned Barcelona with a 2–0 victory at the Spotify Camp Nou. Far from adopting a defensive mindset, Los Colchoneros came out to impose their attacking strength, taking advantage of Barcelona’s lack of control in midfield. Rather than considering the tie settled, captain Koke issued a warning to the Blaugranas ahead of the second leg, offering hints about their tactical approach ahead the Champions League quarterfinals second leg. “This is a match that could go down in Champions League history. It’s a historic game for the club, and we are focused on this match, not the Copa final. We’re approaching it like a final. We’re going there to win it… My teammates are highly motivated. It’s normal that they (Barcelona players) believe they can come back. The opposite would be strange…with the desire to play a great match against a strong opponent, in our stadium,” Koke said in the latest press conference. Even though they hold a comfortable advantage on the scoreboard, Koke’s words suggest they will not sit back and defend. Unlike in previous seasons, Los Colchoneros have shown that their best version comes when they take an aggressive, high-risk approach, with Ademola Lookman and Giuliano Simeone dominating the flanks. With this in mind, they will look to extend their lead rather than protect it. While Lamine Yamal has opted to challenge coach Diego Simeone over his dominance in one-on-one situations, they have decided to stick to their approach: Securing the victory. However, Los Colchoneros could look to apply tight marking on the 18-year-old star, limiting his ability to make an impact in attack. In addition, they will aim to exploit the space behind Barcelona’s defenders with their quick counterattacking style. Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid. Atlético Madrid’s Diego Simeone faces key absentees vs. Barcelona Ahead of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Atlético Madrid arrive with a clear advantage, holding a two-goal lead on aggregate. In addition, coach Diego Simeone regains Pablo Barrios, Johnny Cardoso, and Jan Oblak, providing a significant boost. However, they also face a major setback, as they will be without three absences that could prove decisive in the match against Barcelona. Coach Diego Simeone will be without three high-level center-backs: Marc Pubill due to accumulated yellow cards, as well as José María Giménez and David Hancko, who did not take part in the latest training session due to fitness issues. Without them, Los Colchoneros lose defensive reliability, leaving everything in the hands of Robin Le Normand and Clément Lenglet, who have tended to make mistakes from game to game. Taking advantage of these absences, the Blaugranas could look to apply sustained high pressing. In doing so, they may force errors in the build-up, putting Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski in prime positions to score and chase the comeback. However, Los Colchoneros could also aim to reduce their opponent’s influence by adopting an attacking approach that forces Barcelona to proceed with caution.
