🎥 Barça thrill but 3-0 not enough, Atletico reach final 🏆

Remuntada was needed and remuntada it (almost) was. Barcelona wins 3-0 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, but is defeated in the aggregate.

It is Atlético Madrid under Simeone who will play for the trophy in Seville, after 180 and more minutes of madness. The decisive 4-0 at the Metropolitano effectively booked the pass to the grand final for the Colchoneros, although yesterday was far from a walk in the park for Griezmann and company.

At Camp Nou, indeed, Barça gave it their all, going into halftime with a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Marc Bernal and Raphinha. The scenario Flick wanted, with the Catalans having the entire second half to try to complete the comeback. 

Once again, Bernal (yet another product of the cantera blaugrana, just 18 years old) thrilled the home crowd in the 72nd minute, scoring his personal double and bringing the score to 3-0. At that point, anything could happen.

But with the goal from the 2007 class, it wasn't Atlético's hopes that faded, but Barcelona's energy, as they created very little from that moment on, never truly coming close to scoring the goal that would have sent the match to extra time.

Thus, Atlético goes to the final in the most Cholista way possible, with garra and suffering, even after winning the first leg 4-0. For Simeone, it will be the 10th final at the helm of the Colchoneros. It remains to be seen if it will be against Athletic or Real Sos.
