April 3, 2025
Barca

Barcelona secured a 1-0 second-leg victory over Atletico Madrid, sealing a 5-4 aggregate win and booking their first Copa del Rey final since 2021.

Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the match, stretching to convert Lamine Yamal’s precise pass after a dominant first-half display from the visitors.

Atletico, desperate to salvage their season, responded strongly after halftime, with Alexander Sorloth having a goal disallowed for offside.

Despite an improved second-half showing, Diego Simeone’s side couldn’t find an equalizer, extending their winless run to six matches (D1, L5).

Now unbeaten in 21 games, Barcelona remain on course for a quadruple and will face Real Madrid in the final.
