Barcelona noticed their Copa del Rey title defence and hopes of a treble come to an finish as their effort at a exceptional turnaround from the primary leg defeat to Atletico Madrid fell quick, with a 3-0 win at Camp Nou not sufficient.
The Blaugrana have been blown away 4-0 by Diego Simeone’s males within the first leg in Madrid, leaving them want to supply a repeat of Barca’s Champions League heroics of 2017, after they beat Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 within the second leg to overturn a four-goal deficit and progress.
For a very long time, it seemed as if a repeat of ‘La Remontada’ was on the playing cards, with two targets from Marc Bernal, sandwiched by a Raphinha penalty, placing them on the cusp of forcing further time.
But the ultimate 18 minutes of regular time after Bernal’s second, plus the six minutes of extra time, didn’t yield the important thing purpose for Barca, as Atleti clung on to arrange a last with both Actual Sociedad or Athletic Bilbao.
