Barcelona secured their place in the Copa del Rey final after a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid, sealing a 5-4 aggregate win.
Ferran Torres’ first-half goal proved to be the winner as Xavi’s side triumphed on enemy soil.
Lamine Yamal was instrumental in Barca’s attack, threading a through ball in the 27th minute to Ferran, who stretched to poke the ball past Juan Musso into the bottom-left corner.
Atletico struggled to create any clear-cut chances, with their frustrations evident throughout the first half, where they failed to register a shot on target.
Barcelona could have extended their lead before the break, but Musso denied Raphinha with a smart save.
Atletico responded with three half-time substitutions, introducing Alexander Sorloth to add a more direct approach, but the Norwegian saw a close-range effort hit the side netting.
