Atletico de Madrid travelled to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for their first leg of their Copa del Rey clash with Barcelona, and managed to stun the home crowd with a lightning fast start.
Two goals in just six minutes put Diego Simeone's side 2-0 up before Barça could even blink in this semi-final tie.
The first was netted by the in-form Julian Álvarez after just one minute, and the follow-up from Antoine Griezmann came in minute six.
It wasn't the first time that a Simeone team had done this to an opponent either, with stats revealing that Atleti had scored two in the opening six minutes of a game for the fourth time under the Argentine boss.
Barcelona hit back quickly though, with goals from Pedri and Pau Cubarsí within the space of three minutes.
Don't take your eyes off this one!
