The 25-year undefeated curse! Data: Barcelona may shatter Atletico Madrid's last hope[yuyi]

At 3:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 3rd, the second leg of the Copa del Rey witnessed a highly anticipated match, with Atletico Madrid hosting Barcelona at home. The two sides engaged in a goal-fest in the first leg, jointly contributing eight goals, and the game ended in a 4-4 draw. The official betting odds for this match are 2.65 (Atletico Madrid win), 3.50 (draw), and 2.15 (Barcelona win). Barcelona, playing away, has a certain advantage and is expected to remain undefeated.

In the last round of La Liga, when Atletico Madrid played away against Espanyol, they only managed a 1-1 draw due to defensive mistakes. In the last three league matches, Atletico Madrid has achieved one draw and two losses, which means they have lost eight points on their way to the championship, completely giving up the initiative. From being the leader of the league table to now trailing the top-ranked Barcelona by 9 points, Atletico Madrid has to look at others' faces if it wants to compete for the La Liga title. Coupled with the fact that Atletico Madrid was eliminated by their city rivals Real Madrid on penalties in the previous round of 16 of the Champions League, the Copa del Rey has become the most promising championship for Atletico Madrid this season.

Barcelona won 4-1 against Girona in their last game, achieving a 9-game winning streak in the league and remaining unbeaten in 20 matches. This means that since the beginning of 2025, Barcelona has never lost a game. Barcelona last achieved a nine-game winning streak in the league in 2016. Flick's tactical transformation has transformed the team from a season of nothing to a three-tier title race, bringing about a complete transformation both in terms of performance and on the field. This season, Barcelona has scored 82 goals in 29 rounds, averaging 2.83 goals per game, making it the team with the most powerful attack in the top five leagues. Among them, the trident composed of Lewandowski, Raphinha and Yamal jointly contributed 78 goals. The efficiency of Barcelona's veteran, middle-aged and young attacking combination is truly terrifying.

The betting odds for this match are 2.65 (Atletico Madrid win), 3.50 (draw), and 2.15 (Barcelona win). The data shows a more favorable outlook for Barcelona, which is playing away. The last time Barcelona lost to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey was in the 1999-2000 season, which is 25 years ago! Since the beginning of this century, Barcelona has faced Atletico Madrid three times in the Copa del Rey, remaining unbeaten with five wins and one draw, and eliminating their opponents each time. Among the three away games at the Calderon Stadium, Barcelona won all of them, having a complete psychological advantage.

In the total goal play, the odds for two goals are 1 to 4.30, while the odds for three goals are as low as 1 to 3.65. In the score game, the lowest odds for a 1-1 draw are 1 to 7.8, while for Barcelona 2-1, they are 1 to 8.2. Overall, Barcelona has the upper hand in terms of a draw or a win. The two teams engaged in a fierce offensive battle in the first leg and ended up in a 4-4 draw, achieving a rare 1-200 draw. Atletico Madrid's head coach Simeone stated before the game, encouraging the entire team to push forward with all their might and attack actively.
