Atletico 2-3 Barcelona (2-4 agg): Catalans Reach Copa del Rey Semis

Barcelona downed nine-man Atletico Madrid in a tense five-goal galore in the quarter-final of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.


Fernando Torres scored another opening minute goal to cancel out Atleti’s 1-0 deficit from the first leg but Neymar came up with a quick response of his own to restore Barca’s advantage.


Raul Garcia pulled Atletico ahead again from the penalty spot but Miranda’s own goal compounded issues for the Madrid club and Neymar’s second at the break sealed a semi-final ticket for Luis Enrique’s side against either Villarreal of Getafe.
