The Spotify Camp Nou is set for a night of high drama as FC Barcelona attempts a historic “Remontada” against Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinal second leg. Trailing 4-0 from a disastrous first leg, the Catalans face an uphill battle—made even steeper by devastating injury news.

Major Injury Blow: Lewandowski Out

Barcelona confirmed that star striker Robert Lewandowski will miss this crucial clash. The veteran forward suffered a fracture of his left eye socket during the weekend’s action. While the club hopes for a quick return with a protective mask later this month, he is officially ruled out for tonight’s must-win fixture.

In his absence, Ferran Torres is expected to lead the line as the central striker. Hansi Flick is also grappling with the absence of Frenkie de Jong (thigh) and the suspended Eric García. On a positive note, Pedri and Raphinha are both fit to support the in-form Lamine Yamal.
