The head coach of the "Barcelona" club, Hansi Flick, confirmed before the match against Madrid's "Atletico" that Marcus Rashford suffered an injury and praised the opponent's strategist Diego Simeone:

"M. Rashford is not ready. He suffered a bruise. This is not good news, but I trust my team.

The situation is not easy, as we will be playing against a fantastic team.

I saw the "mattress makers" cup match against Sevilla's "Real Betis" team, and it was incredible. Diego Simeone is doing a great job with this team.

I appreciated what I saw. It will be a tough match against the "Atletico" team."

The Madrid "Atletico" club crushed the "Real Betis" team 5-0 in the quarter-finals.

Today, the first match of the "Copa del Rey" semi-final stage will take place.

The return match will occur at the beginning of March.
