Barcelona, Atletico Madrid Share Eight Goals In Copa De Rey Thriller
Atletico Madrid: FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played out a thrilling 4-4 draw in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal at Montjuic, featuring a dramatic back-and-forth scoring spree that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Atletico took the lead after just 50 seconds when Antoine Griezmann's corner was flicked on for Julian Alvarez, who calmly slotted the ball home at the far post. Alvarez then turned provider in the eighth minute, slipping the ball to Griezmann, who capitalised on Barcelona's high defensive line to turn inside and score with his right foot.
The only fans in Montjuic making any noise were wearing Atletico shirts, but Barca should have been back into the game soon afterwards, only for Ferran Torres to fail to beat Juan Musso in the Atletico goal, reports Xinhua.
