The second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals is this week, and FC Barcelona will play at home against Atletico Madrid. The two teams played each other last month in the first leg in Madrid, Spain.
Over the weekend, both teams won their respective match in La Liga. FC Barcelona defeated Villarreal 4-1 with goals from Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, who scored a hat trick.
Atletico Madrid defeated Real Oviedo 1-0 away from home with a last-minute winner from Julian Alvarez.
In the first leg between Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey semifinal, Atletico Madrid won the match 4-0 at the Metropolitano.
An own goal from Eric Garcia and goals from Antoine Griezmann, Ademola Lookman, and Julian Alvarez led to Atleti’s big win that puts them closer to the Copa del Rey Final.
