The Barca will undoubtedly have regrets. While led 4-2 to ten minutes from the end of the regulation time of this semi-final go to the King’s Cup, the Barcelonans were held in check by Atlético Madrid this Tuesday evening (4-4), Under a completely crazy match, which saw the two teams go back for blow.
Diego Simeone’s men had indeed started the game perfectly, leading 2 to 0 after only six minutes of play. Julian Alvarez had taken advantage of a corner to open the scoring (1st) of a right foot shot passed by the post, before Antoine Griezmann has fun and made the station wagon (6th).
But the Barcelonais gradually put the foot on the ball and relaunched. By Pedri first, superbly served in the surface by Koundé since his right side (19th). The attacker only had to conclude with a right foot to deceive Musso. The equalization arrived just two minutes later (21st) this time on corner and thanks to a head of Pau Cubarsi. It was again on a stopped kick that the Barcelonais took the advantage (41st, 3-1). Just before the break, Raphinha takes care of a corner and finds Martinez, who manages to be forgotten by defenders. Alone at the second post, the defender then deceives the opposing goalkeeper of the head.
The second period proved to be just as spectacular, with a goal refused on the side of Atletico just before Lewandowski (74th), served by Yamal, thinks of offering victory to Barca. Everything will finally be relaunched ten minutes later (84th) thanks to a strength strike from the right foot of Marcos Llorente before Sorloth equalized in the last seconds of additional time. A crazy scenario that announces a new spectacular meeting on April 2, during the semi-final return to Madrid.
The other semi-final go to this king’s cup will oppose Real Sociedad, Real Madrid. A meeting in which Kylian Mbappé should be able to participate despite a small physical glitch. The Frenchman had to be operated in recent hours with a tooth of wisdom and lacked training on Tuesday. “But he will travel with us,” said at a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti, his coach. And like all the players who are summoned, he can play tomorrow. Like Endrick. »
