By IANS News April 09, 2026 • 09:28 AM View: 120

Champions League QF: Goals from Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth gave Atletico Madrid a 2-0 win away to Barcelona on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.

The result puts Atletico in firm control of the tie and marks a sharp reversal from Barcelona's 2-1 win in La Liga between the sides just days earlier, with Diego Simeone's team surviving early pressure before capitalizing on a numerical advantage throughout the second half, reports Xinhua.

Barcelona started brightly at Camp Nou, with goalkeeper Juan Musso twice denying Marcus Rashford in an open, high-tempo opening. At the other end, Joan Garcia produced a save to keep out Alvarez.
