The first of the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid saw five goals, and there has now been a sixth at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys as the hosts have established a two-goal cushion by making the scoreline 4-2.
Atleti had been well on course for successive wins in the Catalan capital after two early goals. The first came after 46 seconds courtesy of Julian Alvarez, and just a few minutes later, the second arrived for Los Colchoneros as Antoine Griezmann netted against his former club. However, they were pegged back.
Barcelona reduced the arrears to 2-1 on 20 minutes as Pedri finished from a fine Jules Kounde cutback, following a very well-worked goal from Hansi Flick’s side. And remarkably, they were back level a minute later as Pau Cubarsi scored his first goal for the club with a header from Raphinha’s corner. And the hosts would complete a sensational first half comeback by making it 3-2 in the 41st minute, with the goal coming from Inigo Martinez.
Now, Robert Lewandowski has made it 4-2 after excellent play from Lamine Yamal.

It is outrageous from Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski, who had only been on the park for a few minutes, could not miss from close range.
