Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid draw in the Copa Del Rey semi-final
Visitors open 2-0 after five minutes, take 4-2 and manage to equalize at the end of the match
Great game in Barcelona ends in a draw
A historic match at the Olímpico de Montjuic ended in a 4-4 draw. In a duel with many twists and turns, Atlético de Madrid were surprising by opening up a 2-0 lead early on and securing a draw that seemed impossible against a dominant Barcelona.
Julián Álvarez, Griezmann, Llorente and Sorloth scored the goals for the visitors, while Pedri, Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez and Lewandowski scored for the home side.
The first half was very exciting. Five minutes in, Atlético de Madrid had already had three shots and a 2-0 lead. Barça felt the blow, but gradually began to dominate their opponents territorially and began to hurt. Pedri reduced the deficit after a beautiful combination between Koundé and Yamal, and Raphinha was decisive with two beautiful corner kicks that ended in goals by Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez. The home team ended the half dominating the game, with almost three times as many shots (11 to 4) and 66% possession.
In the second half, Barcelona managed to hold on to their advantage in search of the blow that could have been fatal. It could have been because Barça even managed to score a fourth goal with Lewandowski – who came on in the second half – and the team was so dominant that the fans started shouting “olé”. Too soon.
Correa and Sorloth came on very well. The number 10, with great movement, provided the assist for Llorente to reduce the deficit in the 38th minute of the second half. In the 47th minute, Samuel Lino received a beautiful pass from Barrios and rolled the ball to Sorloth to equalize.
Simeone, who was very angry and had already received a yellow card, celebrated a lot. He shouted and gestured to the stands. A historic day that ended with a taste of victory for Atlético de Madrid.
