Prediction
This is the fifth meeting of these sides since December and the most recent was an ill-tempered 2-1 win for Barca in the Spanish capital at the weekend.
Nico Gonzalez got his marching orders for denying Lamine Yamal a goalscoring opportunity late in the first half with the contest level.
Atleti were then incensed after the break when Gerard Martin was shown a red card for an ugly challenge on Thiago Almada, only for the Barca player to get a reprieve after VAR intervened and the referee downgraded it to yellow.
Diego Simeone's side were 4-0 Copa del Rey winners at home in February before losing the second 3-0 here and they are winless in 25 visits to Catalunya.
Flick's side are in free-scoring form, hitting the net 19 times in their previous four home Champions League games, but they are without a clean sheet in 13 games in this competition.
A home win is likely, but Atleti can get on the scoresheet and keep themselves in the tie.
