They did not tremble. Or just a little, time to tighten the lines, back down to better strike. FC Barcelona qualified for the King's Cup final by mastering an Atlético who no longer had legs or momentum. In a metropolitano to the air of missed appointments, Flick's men dominated, suffered, then resisted. The goal of Ferran Torres was enough to validate the qualification and to plant the foundations of a dream final: Barça – Real, on April 27 in Seville.
Lamine, Pedri, Ferran: trio of craftsmen of a conquering barça
The Catalan score is first of all that of a high pressing, of a medium orchestrated by Pedri, and the brilliant lightnings of a lamin Yamal decidedly extraordinary. From the first minutes, the dynamics were clear: Barça imposed, Atlético fell back. It was not until the 28th minute for the efforts to materialize, with this laminate-in-depth passing wonder for Ferran, who concluded with composure.
An Atlético that reacts too late
Strangely absent in the first period, Atlético showed another face after the break. The entrances to Sorlyth and the projections of Riquelme put in difficulty the Barcelona defense, but the Colchoneros lacked edge. A goal refused for offside, a few hot strokes, but nothing enough to erase the Blaugrana advance. On the Barça side, Araujo held the house, Pedri continued to dictate the tempo, and Flick perfectly managed the replacements.
The online clasico of sight, the regrets for Atlético
With this victory, Barça validates its presence at the Cartuja for a first cup final against Real since 2014. The appointment is made. For Atlético, on the other hand, this defeat sounds like an end of cycle. In the space of two weeks, Simeone's men have lost everything: La Liga, the Champions League, and now the Cup. History will be written without them.
