Atlético Madrid has clinched their place in the Copa del Rey final, even after suffering a 3-0 defeat in the second leg of their semi-final clash against Barcelona. The Colchoneros’ formidable 4-0 victory in the first leg proved to be an insurmountable advantage, effectively ending the Catalan giants’ hopes of a dramatic comeback, or “remontada.”
With their aggregate win, Atlético Madrid now awaits the outcome of the other semi-final to discover their opponent in the final, which will be either Athletic Bilbao or Real Sociedad.
