Heavily defeated on Atlético Madrid’s turf in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal (4-0), FC Barcelona is facing a must-win scenario tomorrow night. The Catalan club has sent a clear warning to the Colchoneros.

The second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal between Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona is set for tomorrow evening. Back home at Spotify Camp Nou, Barça needs nothing short of a miracle. For Lamine Yamal and his teammates, nothing is impossible.

Ahead of Tuesday’s showdown, FC Barcelona took to social media to rally its supporters. "90 minutes (or more) are very long at Spotify Camp Nou," Barça wrote in a post on X.

This message is clearly aimed at the Colchoneros. It references remarks made by Real Madrid last season. To recall, the Merengues famously declared after their defeat to Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals (3-0) last season: "90 minutes at the Bernabéu is a very long time."
