Barcelona – Atlético semi-final football match - First leg, live
28 ' Musso easily blocked a cross from Lamine Yamal from just behind the edge of the box.
27 ' Szczesny took a risk. He took the ball at the edge of the area, despite some timid protests from Atlético. The Pole was inside the area, although just by a hair.
26 ' De Paul concedes a corner after a Barça run down the left.
23 ' Barça is in turmoil. The fans, more than devoted, have woken up with the draw, as has a team that has Atleti completely subdued.
21 ' Cubarsí makes it 2-2 in a completely crazy start to the match! The corner, taken by Raphinha, flew to the far post, where the centre-back jumped higher than Pablo Barrios. His header hit Barrios' head and went into Musso's goal, close to the goalkeeper's right post.
21 ' Gooo ...
20 ' Gallagher gives away a corner after a poor control that went long.
19 ' Barça did well! Lamine Yamal found Koundé with a pass into space on the right wing. The full-back, on the right side of the area, played a pass back for Pedri to finish with the inside of his right boot and beat Musso with a low shot to the left of the goalkeeper.
19 ' Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool from Barça!
18 ' Giménez headed the corner clear and Musso made a confident block.
17 ' Musso has just given Barça a corner. Raphinha took the free kick and the ball was clearly going wide, but he jumped and, with both hands, cleared it back.
16 ' Javi Galán, the first to be booked in the match. He was booked for a foul on Lamine Yamal.
15 ' Pedri was poisoned! The Canary Islander tried to extend an aerial ball that turned into a shot almost accidentally that went to the right of Musso's goal.
14 ' Barça have taken possession of the ball in a dictatorial manner, but since when has Atleti felt uncomfortable being organised, defending and without the ball?
12 ' What a bad finish by Ferran Torres! Barça had the chance to make it 1-2! The '7' was left alone after a pass into space from Raphinha and was set up. He faced Musso, but he didn't position his body well and rushed into a centred shot that could have been improved. The Atleti goalkeeper caught it in two steps.
11 ' Lamine Yamal tried! The '19' did his thing: from the right, he cut inside to finish the play with a left-footed shot that looked for the nearest post, but the ball went to the left of Musso's goal.
8 ' Barça wants to react, as they are going to have a corner after a cross into the area combed by the Atleti defense.
6 ' Atleti make it 0-2 on the counterattack! Julián Álvarez, after intercepting a bad pass from Koundé, held on to a ball on the left until he saw Griezmann, who was coming through the centre. He played the perfect pass at the perfect time to the Frenchman, who cut inside Balde in the area before shooting with his right foot. After hitting Szczesny, the ball lodged in the back of the goal.
6 ' Gooo ...
5 ' Lamine Yamal tried to get away from Gallagher on the edge of the box, but the Englishman didn't buy into the '19's attempt. Good recovery.
4 ' Szczesny had to leave his area to prevent Griezmann from reaching a long ball from Atleti's half.
1 ' What a start! Atlético de Madrid took the lead before the 60 seconds of the game had been completed! Julián Álvarez, at the far post and very close to the post, finished off a Lenglet extension after a Griezmann cross.
1 ' Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool from Atlético de Madrid!
1 ' Atlético de Madrid had a chance! After 30 seconds, Julián Álvarez headed in a cross from Griezmann and Szczesny had to get his hand close to the crossbar to send the ball out for a corner.
1 ' The match has started at Montjuïc! This Barcelona-Atletico Madrid game is underway!
0 ' Atlético de Madrid will wear a shirt that can be defined as aqua blue, while Barça will wear its first kit.
0 ' It seems that, for the moment, the 40,000 spectators in Montjuïc have not yet been reached.
0 ' The protagonists are already coming out onto the pitch!
0 ' Barcelona and Atlético have faced each other 46 times in the Copa del Rey. The aggregate score is in favour of the Blaugranas, who have won 22 matches, lost 15 and drawn 9 in the remaining matches. Since Atleti's 3-0 in the 2000 semi-final, in a single match, Barça won 5 matches in a row until the 1-1 in the return leg of the semi-finals in 2017, a result that, after the 1-2 in the first leg, gave them a place in the final.
0 ' Sorloth is now a substitute despite being a talisman against Barcelona. In the last 4 games against the Blaugranas, he has scored 4 goals and 3 assists. With Real Sociedad, he assisted and scored in the 1-2 game in May 2023. With Villarreal, he scored one of the 3 yellow goals in the 3-4 win for the Blaugranas in August 2023 and scored twice in the 3-5 game in January 2024 at Montjuïc. With Atleti, he scored the winning goal in December in the 96th minute.
0 ' It's raining on the Montjuïc pitch right now. And there's also a thunderstorm on the Barcelona coast. Neither the weather, nor the day, nor the time seem to help, but a Barça-Atletico semi-final can handle that and much more.
0 ' Atlético's substitutes are Oblak, Gomis, Nahuel Molina, Witsel, Reinildo, Le Normand, Lemar, Samu Lino, Rodrigo Riquelme, Sorloth and Ángel Correa.
0 ' The Barcelona bench will be occupied by Kochen, Iñaki Peña, Ronald Araujo, Hector Fort, Gerard Martin, Eric Garcia, Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, Gavi, Lewandowski and Pau Victor.
0 ' And this is the Atletico Madrid starting eleven: Musso; Llorente, Lenglet, Gimenez, Javi Galan; Pablo Barrios, De Paul, Gallagher; Giuliano, Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.
0 ' This is how Barcelona comes out: Szczesny; Koundé, Íñigo Martínez, Cubarsí, Balde; De Jong, Pedri, Dani Olmo; Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres.
0 ' As for Atlético de Madrid, they beat Cacereño 1-3 in the 1/32 finals. The red-and-whites struggled to turn things around after Merencio's goal in the 30th minute. In fact, Lenglet equalised in the 83rd minute and Adri Pérez's own goal that turned the score around did not come until the 92nd minute. In the 96th minute, Julián Álvarez sealed the win. In the 1/16, Atleti defeated Marbella with a solitary goal from Griezmann. They were convincing against Elche, who they beat 0-4 in the round of 16, and against Getafe, who they beat 5-0.
0 ' This has been Barcelona's path in the Copa del Rey. The blaugranas have beaten their three rivals in the tournament. In the 1/16 finals, they beat Barbastro 0-4 with a brace from Lewandowski and goals from Eric García and Pablo Torre. In the 1/8 finals, Betis took a tough 5-1 win at Montjuïc with goals from Gavi, Koundé, Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal. Finally, Flick's men beat Valencia 0-5 at Mestalla with a hat trick from Ferran and goals from Fermín and Lamine.
0 ' 'Marca' has heard chants against Vinicius and Real Madrid from a section of Barcelona fans before the match. "Vinicius, die" was chanted by a minority, while more chanted "Madridistas, sons of bitches."
0 ' Diego Pablo Simeone returns to Montjuïc, where he ended a curse that had accompanied him since his arrival at the Atlético de Madrid dugout. Before the 1-2 victory a couple of months ago, he had never won away to Barça in the previous 17 games. Sorloth's goal in added time ended that negative record for the Argentine.
0 ' Alejandro Hernández Hernández will be the referee in charge of this match. The Canary Islander has refereed Barça and Atleti on one occasion this season. He was the referee for the Blaugranas in Seville on 9 February (1-4), while the Rojiblancos beat Athletic 0-1 in August with this official on the pitch. Trujillo Suárez will be in charge of the VAR.
0 ' Barcelona, meanwhile, have not yet announced their squad list. According to 'Sport', they will limit themselves to offering the RFEF the starting and substitute players an hour and a quarter before the start of the match, that is, at 20:15 (Spanish time). In any case, Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre and Andreas Christensen are expected to be the ones left out of the squad.
0 ' Atlético will be missing Azpilicueta and Koke for this match. The defender suffered discomfort against Valencia and was a doubt until the last minute, but he will be out. The captain, meanwhile, has a muscle injury that has already kept him out of the game at Mestalla.
0 ' Good afternoon! We are here to experience with the intensity and urgency that a great match deserves, on par with what this Barcelona-Atlético de Madrid match promises in the first leg of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey semi-finals.
