The day the Calderón gave Leo Messi a standing ovation

Atlético-Barcelona Live

Barcelona face Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals on Wednesday night with both sides eager to lay down a marker in the first leg.

In 2009 AD (Antes de Diego), Atlético hosted the Azulgrana in the last 16 and were swept aside by a legendary Leo Messi hat-trick.

The Calderón could do little but rise to applaud the Argentinean.
