Barcelona secures Copa del Rey final berth, defeats Atlético 1-0

Barcelona secured their place in the Copa del Rey final with a narrow 1-0 victory over Atlético Madrid, culminating in a 5-4 aggregate win. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal, capitalizing on a well-placed pass from Lamine Yamal during a match where Barcelona dominated possession and created several opportunities. Atlético Madrid struggled throughout the match, having dropped points in La Liga and exited the UEFA Champions League, leaving them without a trophy this season. The match was marked by physical play, with an early contentious tackle by César Azpilicueta on Raphinha. Despite a spirited second-half performance from Atlético, they could not find the equalizer needed to progress. Barcelona will now prepare for the final, aiming for their first Copa del Rey title since the 2020/21 season.
