Barça arrive in Madrid with an average of 4.5 goals per game
The Blaugrana side head into the semi-final second leg after scoring 18 goals in the four matches they have played
So far in the Copa del Rey Mapfre Barcelona have never failed to find the back of the net. Tonight, against Atlético Madrid (21:30 on La 1 and Movistar Plus), they have no intention of taking their foot off the gas as they aim to continue their run of high-scoring run of form.
In the four matches they have played in this season’s Copa del Rey, they have netted a total of 18 goals, recording an average of 4.5 goals per game. They put four past UD Barbastro, five past Real Betis, five past Valencia, and four against Atlético in the first leg. However, the four goals they scored against Diego Pablo Simeone's side were not enough to secure an advantage going into tonight’s second leg.
Hansi Flick is delighted with the players' attacking mindset, and they have their sights firmly set on scoring goals and keep adding to their tally with a view to booking their places in the final. With Barça on the pitch, entertainment is guaranteed – but clean sheets for their opponents are not. Despite playing at home, Atlético will have plenty of work to do from a defensive point of view if they want to progress.
