Barcelona will seek to book a spot in the Semi Finals as they try to overturn a two-goal deficit against Atlético Madrid in the second leg of their quarter-final tie at the Metropolitano.
This will be the sixth match between Atletico and Barcelona this season, with Barcelona winning three of the five so far.
The last time Atletico won the first leg of a Champions League quarter-final was way back in the 2023-24 season against Borussia Dortmund when they fell apart in the second leg.
Now, despite Barcelona being favourites for the tie, Evra has mocked the side who he believes have no chance at progressing.
"Listen, Barcelona fans need to wake up and face reality. I see all those 'Remontada' profile pictures everywhere; it’s time to be humble and take them down," Evra said, as per Diario Sport.
"This isn’t the Barcelona of 2015; that team no longer exists. We’ve seen them crumble time and time again on the big stage, and, quite frankly, they’re not capable of doing it again."
"I have every confidence in Diego Simeone and his players. They’re fighters, they’re well prepared and ready to put a stop to this."
"Barça fans, stay calm and keep quiet, because Europe is a different story… and you’re no longer the kings. I love this sport, but I love the truth even more."
Barcelona, who lie nine points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table, must be relentless if they are to beat Atletico who will play defensively from the off under Diego Simeone.
