Barcelona and Atlético Madrid produced one of the greatest Copa del Rey matches of all time as the two heavyweights played to a remarkable 4-4 draw in Tuesday’s semi-final first leg at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium. An absolutely wild contest saw Barça concede twice in the first five minutes, then score four unanswered goals before conceding twice again in the final minutes to end a classic in the Catalan capital and set up a spectacular second leg in Madrid in five weeks.
FIRST HALF
Atlético took the ball to start the game, immediately went forward and scored 50 seconds into the action as the visitors took a short corner and Antoine Griezmann’s cross was deflected at the near post and poked home by Julián Álvarez at the far.
