Defeating Atletico, Barcelona enters the final of the Spanish King's Cup

In the first leg, Atletico and Barcelona gave a lively football party with 8 goals scored, divided equally between the two teams. However, this was not repeated in the second leg, both teams played quite cautiously. However, with high performance and a larger squad, coach Hansi Flick's team still had the upper hand.

In the 12th minute, Yamal made the fans of the Metropolitano stadium gasp with a delicate curling shot, but the ball missed the post by a hair. But the Catalan representative did not have to regret for long because exactly 15 minutes later, the net of the Spanish capital team shook.

It was still Lamine Yamal with a skillful dribble, tearing apart Atletico's defense. The player born in 2007 then made an accurate pass for Ferran Torres to decisively finish into the top corner, defeating goalkeeper Juan Musso.

A few minutes later, Yamal continued to make strong breakthroughs if he had any but could not take advantage of the opportunity. Raphinha also had at least two chances of his own, one of which forced the Atletico goalkeeper to show all his ability to block at the end of the first half.

Meanwhile, after conceding a goal, coach Diego Simeone's players launched a strong attack in search of an equalizer but were unable to create any dangerous opportunities in front of the away team's goal.

After the break, Atletico made a series of personnel adjustments to increase their strength in attack. Notably, Alexander Sorloth was brought on the field. However, the Norwegian star's only mark was a dangerous shot in the 52nd minute that went just wide of the post and a goal was disallowed due to offside in the 69th minute. Towards the end of the match, Barcelona's midfield focused all their efforts on the attack to preserve the fragile gap. The match ended with a minimal 1-0 victory for the Catalan team.

The win puts Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, where they will face arch-rivals Real Madrid. This will be the eighth time in El Clasico history that they have reached the final of the Spanish Cup. The clash is expected to take place on April 26 in Seville.
