Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinals, securing a place in the final against Real Madrid. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal after a brilliant assist from Lamine Yamal. Barcelona’s unbeaten run continues as they remain on track for a potential quadruple this season.
In a tense Copa del Rey semifinal, Barcelona triumphed over Atletico Madrid with a 1-0 aggregate win, setting up an El Clasico final against Real Madrid on April 26. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the first half, tapping in a well-executed pass from the dynamic 17-year-old Lamine Yamal. The goal came after a strong period of pressure from Barcelona, who maintained control of the match despite some late chances from Atletico Madrid.
While Atletico had opportunities, including an offside goal from Alexander Sorloth and a missed pass to Antoine Griezmann, the Catalan side remained composed. Barcelona’s defense held firm, and their unbeaten run across all competitions stretched to 21 games. The victory strengthens their quadruple ambitions as they continue to lead La Liga and prepare for the Champions League quarterfinals.
The upcoming final against Real Madrid in Seville will mark the eighth time these two rivals face off in the Spanish Cup final, adding another chapter to their storied rivalry. With Barcelona already securing the Spanish Super Cup, the showdown in the Copa del Rey could prove pivotal ahead of a crucial La Liga match later in May.
