FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid meet for the 4th and final time this season on Wednesday in the second leg of the King's Cup semifinal. After a spectacular first leg in Catalonia (4-4), in which Barça let a victory slip from their grasp when Sorloth equalized in injury time (90th+3), the Catalan club will be seeking their place in the final in the Spanish capital at the Metropolitano Stadium, where they emerged victorious less than 3 weeks ago in La Liga (2-4). Flick's side came from 2-0 down to mount a stunning comeback just after the hour mark, thanks to a brace from Ferran Torres and goals from the inevitable Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal.
Having been knocked out by Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, and now trailing Barcelona by 9 points in the league with 9 games to go, Atlético Madrid, already semi-finalists last season, have only the King's Cup to “save” their season.
FC Barcelona are still engaged on all 3 fronts, with a place at the top of La Liga to consolidate, a Champions League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund to play for, and a place in the final of the Copa del Rey to secure. The end of Barça's season promises to be exciting...

FC Barcelona are out to win all the trophies at the end of the season... Still in the running in the Champions League (quarter-finals) and leader of La Liga, the Catalan club also want to add the King's Cup 2025 to their list of honors. Although they should have won the first leg (4-4), Lewandowski's team will have to make the difference in the second leg at the Metropolitano Stadium.
