There was even an own goal! Barcelona being thrashed by Atleti, watch 📹

Atlético Madrid is STEAMROLLING Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals.

And there’s still the entire second half ahead at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

There was even a bizarre own goal. 

The Colchonero opened the scoring in the seventh minute.

Cubarsí’s back pass to Joan García turned into a goal after the Barça goalkeeper was “fooled” by the bounce of the ball.

Check out the play below and give your opinion!

Joan García had made a great save from Giuliano Simeone’s attempt just two minutes earlier.

Ruthless, Atleti got their second in the 14th minute with Griezmann. A series of passes and a perfect finish from the Frenchman. 

The third only didn’t come in the 23rd minute thanks to Koundé.

But it came on a perfect counterattack.

Unable to count on the injured Raphinha, Hansi Flick took off the booked Casadó to bring on Lewandowski in the 37th minute.

An attempt that didn’t have the immediate effect he’d hoped for.

Barça then saw Julián Álvarez end his drought—he hadn’t scored yet in 2026—after finishing off another lethal attack in the 47th minute. 

The return leg will only be on March 3rd, with Barça as the home team.
