Barcelona Edge Atletico To Set Up Copa Del Rey Clasico Final

Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 at the Metropolitano on Wednesday, progressing 5-4 on aggregate to set up a Copa del Rey final showdown with Real Madrid. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal, sending the Catalans to their first Copa del Rey final since 2018.

The match followed the thrilling 4-4 draw in the first leg, and with Atleticos hopes dashed, they now face a trophy-less season. Barcelona, on the other hand, continue their pursuit of an incredible quadruple, maintaining an unbeaten run in 2025 that now spans 21 games.

Torres well-taken strike, assisted by 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, proved enough to seal the win for Barcelona. Despite a late push from Atletico, including an offside goal by Alexander Sorloth and a near-miss from Antoine Griezmann, the hosts could not find the equalizer.

Barcelona will face Real Madrid, who progressed after a 4-4 draw with Real Sociedad, in the final. Atletico, already eliminated from the Champions League, are left to focus on finishing the season strong in La Liga.
