Thursday 09-04-2026
Atlético Madrid achieved a historic victory over Barcelona at Camp Nou in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 win, ending a nearly 20-year streak without any victory there in various competitions.

The last victory for the Madrid team at this stadium dates back to 2006, when they defeated Barcelona 3-1 in a Spanish league match. In that game, the Spanish star Fernando Torres shone and scored a famous hat-trick.

This victory also represents a special moment for the Argentine coach Diego Simeone, who finally succeeded in achieving his first win at Camp Nou since taking over as the coach of Atlético Madrid.

This achievement reflects the significant transformation Atletico is experiencing under Simeone's leadership, especially in major encounters, as they broke one of the toughest historical curses against Barcelona at one of the most challenging stadiums in Europe.
