Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona LIVE: Copa del Rey match result, latest updates and reaction after cup semi-final

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona LIVE

Barcelona are through to the Copa del Rey final after beating Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate. Ferran Torres justified Hansi Flick’s decision to start him ahead of leading scorer Robert Lewandowski by scoring the only goal on the night at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium to set up an El Clasico showdown with Real Madrid in Seville later this month.

As for Atletico, the competition had become their last realistic chance to claim silverware this season having suffered an agonising Champions League exit on penalties at the hands of Los Blancos and falling off the pace in the LaLiga title race within the last three weeks. Therefore, their focus for the remainder of the campaign is to finish as strongly as possible and hope for the best.

Barca, meanwhile, remain unbeaten across all competitions in 2025 and are still on the hunt to complete a treble as they currently lead the La Liga table by three points and face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-final later in the month.Follow the game back below with our dedicated match blog.

21:12 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

21:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

35 min: Strong reaction from the Atletico fans as Alvarez has hit foot, accidentally, trodden on by Pedri.

Atletico Madrid 0-1 Barcelona (agg: 4-5)

21:03 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

30 min: Reinildo is booked for his tackle on Yamal. Got to say, the Atletico defender is having a torrid time against the Barcelona wonderkid.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Barcelona (agg: 4-4)

20:55 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

23 min: Having seen his side concede eight goals in two games against Barcelona in the past month, it’s no surprise Diego Simeone has switched to a back five tonight.

The decision has come in handy a few times already as the extra centre-back has helped snuff out some dangerous Barca attacks.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Barcelona (agg: 4-4)

20:53 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

20 min: Yamal scoops the ball over two Atleti players to pick out Kounde’s run. However, the Frenchman ends up shooting over the bar.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Barcelona (agg: 4-4)

20:48 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Barcelona (agg: 4-4)

20:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

7 min: VAR CHECK

The referee has been sent over to the monitor to review the tackle. Could be a red card for Azpilicueta!

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Barcelona (agg: 4-4)

20:38 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

6 min: Early yellow card for Azpilicueta as he catches Raphinha. The former Chelsea captain pleads that it’s only his first foul of the game, but the referee is having none of it.

The Brazilian is still down and requires treatment.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Barcelona (agg: 4-4)

20:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

4 min: Atletico’s turn to threaten as Llorente races away down the right and cuts the ball back for Alvarez but he can’t get the ball out of his feet which allows Pedri to get back.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Barcelona (agg: 4-4)

20:34 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Barcelona's route

20:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Barca entered the competition at the round of 32 stage and made light work of Barbastro. That has since been followed up with two comfortable wins over Real Betis and Valencia at the round of 16 and quarter-final stage respectively.

Atletico's route

20:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

On paper, it looks like Atletico Madrid's run to the semi-final has been plain sailing. It's been everything but as they needed two very late goals from Julian Alvarez to overcome UE Vic in the first round. It was a similar story against CP Cacereno in the second round as the La Liga side came from behind.

It was somewhat of a routine win over Marbella in the round of 32, whilst Diego Simeone's side have stepped it up in the last two rounds with comfortable win over Elche and Getafe.

UE Vic 0-2 Atletico Madrid

CP Cacereno 1-3 Atletico Madrid

Sorloth factor

19:55 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Barcelona will be delighted to see Alexander Sorloth among the Atletico Madrid substitutes tonight.

Or will they?

The striker has scored in all three fixtures against Barca this season - all as a substitute!

Last time out

19:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Interestingly, the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg is not the most recent meeting between the two sides.

In fact, they met in LaLiga before the international break with Barcelona coming from 2-0 down to win 4-2 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium.

There’s something about 2-0 leads in this fixture...

Atletico Madrid changes

19:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

From the side that started the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, Diego Simeone has made three changes.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Reinildo and Robin Le Normand all come into the team as Javi Galan, Clement Lenglet and Conor Gallagher make way.

Atmosphere building

Barcelona changes

19:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

With Pau Cubarsi and Raphinha returning to the Barcelona XI, it means Hansi Flick has named nearly the same side that started the first leg 36 days ago.

The only difference sees Fermin Lopez in the number 10 role instead of the injured Dani Olmo.

Team news hint

19:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

It looks like Ronald Araujo will captain Barcelona tonight.

A video clip of the away side’s dressing room being prepared ahead of kick-off has been shared on social media and the central defender's kit can be spotted alongside the armband.

First leg highlights

19:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

36 days ago Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played out a classic 4-4 draw in their Copa del Rey semi-final first leg showdown.

Both sides threw away two-goal leads that night!

Predicted Barcelona XI

19:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Barcelona will tonight be able to call upon star man Raphinha for their huge Copa del Rey semi-final decider away at Atletico Madrid, but Dani Olmo is sidelined.

In-form winger Raphinha remained an unused substitute for Sunday’s 4-1 win over Girona in LaLiga, having also missed the rescheduled victory against Osasuna last week as he travelled back from international duty with Brazil.

Despite that, Barca boss Hansi Flick has said the former Leeds star is “absolutely” ready to face Atletico at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Teenage centre-back Pau Cubarsi is also fit to face Atletico having not been needed in the win over Osasuna and come on as a late substitute against Girona.

Predicted Barcelona XI: Szczesny, Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde, De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski

Predicted Atletico Madrid XI

19:00 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Diego Simeone has already confirmed that first-choice goalkeeper Jan Oblak will once again make way for deputy Juan Musso.

Veteran defender Cesar Azpilicueta is now back fit and scored a sublime volley at the weekend, with Simeone suggesting at his pre-match press conference that the former Chelsea stalwart, Reinildo and Javi Galan could all play against Barcelona.

Robin Le Normand looks set to miss out though after being replaced at half-time on Saturday following another head knock, with Jose Maria Gimenez likely to deputise at centre-back alongside Clement Lenglet, who is on loan from Barcelona but can play against his parent club.

Long-serving captain Koke has declared himself 100 per cent fit after a muscle injury that has kept him out since mid-February, with fellow midfielder Javi Serrano also now recovered.

Predicted Atletico Madrid XI: Musso, Llorente, Gimenez, Lenglet, Azpilicueta, Simeone, Barrios, De Paul, Lino, Griezmann, Alvarez

Flick goes trophy hunting

18:56 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Barcelona may be unbeaten across all competitions in 2025, but Hansi Flick is well aware that will count for nothing if they fail to win trophies.

"I'm hungry to win titles and we're going all in," Flick said at a press conference on Tuesday. "Tomorrow's game is like a final and it's a great opportunity for us.

"We're proud of this team and how we're playing. It's not by luck that we've got this far: we deserve it. I also want to thank everyone for their work. In every situation they gave the right answer.

"Their attitude is always the same, they always give their best and never give up. The result, we'll see.

"The team has improved and I have told them that. I am grateful for what they are doing. But this is football, so what counts are the titles.

"But so far everyone is happy with the style, the game and how the players have improved. I'm happy with the team and the atmosphere in the dressing room. We have to continue like this.

"We won the Supercopa de Espana [against Real Madrid in January], but it's in the past. We want to reach the Copa final, but it won't be easy."

Simeone's pre-match thoughts

18:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone spoke to the media ahead of the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Barcelona, and says he is relishing another showdown with a rival.

“The fans have behaved as they have behaved every year, the stadium is full, singing every game, the presence of our people gives us incredible energy," he said. "It’s not a final, it’s a semi-final.

“The first leg was 4-4, it was an intense, hard-fought match and we played against a rival that plays extraordinary football, with a lot of courage to attack."

(AFP via Getty Images)

Do away goals count?

18:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

No, the away goals rule will not come into play in tonight's Copa Del Rey semi-final second leg. The Spanish Soccer Federation abolished the rule for their most prestigious cup tournament a few seasons ago now.

As a result, if Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can't be separated after 90 minutes then we will have extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shootout to determine who advances to the final to face Real Madrid.

It's a little harsh on Diego Simeone's side as scoring four away goals in the first leg should count for something!

Score prediction

18:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

There was little to separate the two sides in the first leg, but Barcelona’s late win at the Metropolitano in March suggests the Blaugrana will be more than up for the challenge.

Still high-flying in the league and unbeaten since mid-December, it would be smart to back Barcelona in this tie - but it will be close.
