In the UEFA Champions League quarter-final, Atletico Madrid triumphed over 10-man Barcelona with a score of 2-0 at Camp Nou. The match saw a frantic start, with Julian Alvarez testing the Barcelona goalkeeper early on.

Despite being a man down, Barcelona continued to push for an equalizer, but Atletico doubled their lead in the 70th minute when substitute Alexand Sorloth scored from Matteo Ruggeri's first-time pass.
