Barcelona and Atletico Madrid shared eight goals at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in a Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg thriller. Both sides let a two-goal lead slip which will concern Hansi Flick and Diego Simeone, but for the neutral, it has made the return meeting in April all the more intriguing.
The visitors enjoyed the perfect start to the cup tie as Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann were both on the scoresheet inside the opening six minutes before Barca woke up and produced a devastating 20 minute spell in which Pedri, Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez netted to ensure Flick’s side went in at half-time ahead.
