Barcelona secured their place in the 2025 Copa del Rey Final with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Atlético Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final at the Estadio Metropolitano on Wednesday night. The Catalan giants dominated the first half, controlling possession and creating numerous chances to take the lead. However, it was Ferran Torres’ well-taken goal that ultimately proved decisive, as it was the only strike of the match.
Despite Atlético Madrid coming out stronger in the second half, Barcelona showed remarkable resilience and determination to weather the storm. The home side pressed more aggressively and created several opportunities, but Barça’s defense, led by goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, stood firm to keep their slim lead intact. Torres’ goal from earlier in the match was enough to see Barcelona through to the final, where they will face bitter rivals Real Madrid in what promises to be an exciting showdown in Seville at the end of this month.
