Luis Suarez scored twice in Barcelona's victory in the first leg – a
match that featured 10 yellow cards. Two of the 10 cards went to
Fernando Torres, who scored Atletico's opening goal, then was sent off
in the 36th minute. Suarez got away with a couple of fouls
that might have warranted cards as well, but he cashed in on two
opportunities in the 63rd and the 74th minutes. The pair of yellows for Torres means that the striker will miss the all-important second leg because of suspension.
This will be the fourth meeting of the season between these bitter
Spanish rivals, who are also first (Barcelona) and second (Atletico) in
La Liga. All three matches have been won 2-1 by Barcelona, who now has
seven wins and a tie in their last eight meetings with their rivals.
Atletico last beat Barcelona 1-0 in the Champions League in April 2014.
