Barcelona have been drawn to face Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the 2025-26 Copa del Rey.

Hansi Flick’s side secured their place in the last four on Tuesday with a 2-1 win over Albacete thanks to goals from Lamine Yamal and Ronald Araujo.

Meanwhile, Diego Simeone’s side crushed Real Betis 5-0 on Thursday to make it through.

The second semi-final is also a tasty affair as it’s a Basque derby.

Here’s a look at the two semi-final fixtures:

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona

Real Sociedad vs Athletic Club

The semi-finals are both two-legged affairs, with the first game set to take place in Madrid next week between 10-12 February.

Fans will then have to wait a few weeks for the return, as the second legs are not due to take place until 3-5 March.

The winners of both teams head into the final which will be held at La Cartuja in Seville in April.
