Barcelona win at Atlético Madrid to set up Copa del Rey final Clásico | OneFootball

A lone Ferran Torres goal saw Barcelona book their ticket to the Copa del Rey final with a victory against Atlético Madrid in the semi-final.

Scorers: Torres 27'

After an unforgettable eight-goal first-leg between the two Spanish giants, fireworks were expected in the return leg in Madrid.

But much to the chagrin of the neutrals, the goals did not fly in with quite as much freedom in Wednesday evening in the Spanish capital.

After an early spell of pressure, the scoring was opened by Barça forward Ferran Torres, who has been red-hot as of late for the Blaugrana.

The best chance for Atleti to pull level came deep into the second-half when substitute Alexander Sørloth came off the bench to find the back of the net and send the home faithful wild — but the goal was ruled out for a narrow offside decision.

While the hosts pushed for an equaliser in the dying minutes, Barça remained a threat on the break the other way.

As Hansi Flick's side held on to see out the victory, they will now turn attention towards the final.

Who will they face, do you ask? Real Madrid.
