Atlético de Madrid lead Barcelona 4-0 in the Copa del Rey 2025, four first-half goals leaving the tie firmly in their grip. A second-half effort from Pau Cubarsí was later ruled out by VAR.

This live report draws on updates from El Periódico Mediterráneo.

Eric García opened the scoring on six minutes, Antoine Griezmann doubled the lead on 14, and Ademola Lookman added a third on 33.

In first-half stoppage time, Julián Alvarez swept in a fourth from the centre of the area after Lookman's pass.

Early in the second half, Frenkie de Jong was fouled by Julián Alvarez, then Fermín López forced Juan Musso into a save before blazing over from a Jules Koundé pass at a corner.

Giuliano Simeone was booked on 50 minutes after a foul on Alejandro Balde, and Marcos Llorente followed for a challenge on Lamine Yamal. Cubarsí briefly thought he had pulled one back on 52 minutes, but after review the goal was disallowed, with play resuming and the decision confirmed at 59. Referee Juan Martínez Munuera is in charge.
