FC Barcelona
Atlético Madrid delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over Barcelona in this Copa del Rey clash, effectively ending the tie before halftime. Diego Simeone's side capitalized on Barcelona's defensive frailties, with Eric García's early own goal setting the tone for a dominant first-half display. Antoine Griezmann and Ademola Lookman were instrumental in the rout, with Griezmann's clinical finish from Nahuel Molina's assist and Lookman providing the setup for Julián Alvarez's spectacular strike just before the break. Barcelona's evening went from bad to worse when García received a straight red card for a professional foul, effectively killing any hopes of a comeback. The result represents a significant statement from Atlético in their cup campaign and leaves Barcelona with serious questions about their defensive stability and mental resilience in high-pressure fixtures.
