Barça holds on!

Araújo took another high touch and the Catalans cleared. Now Atleti are putting the pressure on.

Four more minutes will be played

Sorloth went for a long-range header. It went high.

Molina was wrong!

He went for a long pass, which ended up as a foul, towards Riquelme. Szczesny caught it.

Raphinha, closed

Atleti didn't clear well after Gerard Martín's run, and the Brazilian went for a shot. Llorente blocked it.

Lamine is replaced!

Gerard Martín comes in. A very defensive change.

Araújo rules in the heights

The Uruguayan cleared Riquelme's cross, which had overflowed on the right.

What a block from Koundé!

He threw himself to the ground and raised his leg to block Javi Galán's shot.

Raphinha's anger at Lamine!

He went it alone when Lewandowski and the Brazilian arrived, the latter completely alone.

De Paul almost got into trouble

He lost the ball in a dangerous area. Lamine could have been left alone, but Eric 's delivery was too weak. Atleti attacked again.

Griezmann, substituted

Riquelme is Simeone's last chance to equalize.

Neither Julian nor Sorloth

The attacking trio reached the area, but neither the Argentine nor the Uruguayan could finish Griezmann 's cross. Szczesny kept it.

Lenglet avoids a scare!

A long possession by Barça, which accelerated with the opening towards Koundé. Lewandowski was already waiting to push it in, but the center back appeared.

Iñigo beats Lenglet

The Basque player won the aerial duel between center-backs and prevented the Frenchman's shot.

Atleti has 15 minutes left!

There's another 15 minutes of added time left. The situation has changed since the first half, but Atleti hasn't managed to score.

Enter Lewandowski!

The player who decides the tie for the moment, Ferran, is leaving.

Lewandowski, sharp fang

Barcelona 's and LaLiga 's top scorer , with 25 goals, is in great form. He has scored eight times in his last nine La Liga matches and three in the Copa del Rey , although he has only played two games. Against Barbastro , he scored twice in 62 minutes, and against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the semi-final, he scored in just 22 minutes.

Barça struggles to get the ball out

Llorente stopped the combination at short distance. The ball went back to Szczesny , who opted to clear.

Goal disallowed for Sorloth!!!

He crossed it in front of Szczesny, but he was ahead. The move is very fair. The Norwegian denies it.

Balde booked!

He hit the floor with the plank in front of him. Pedri raised his arms, in disbelief.

Very tight phase

Too many fouls and too little rhythm. Now it was Eric's turn to protest a foul called in midfield.

Szczesny, very sure

Lenglet narrowly missed the header. Barrios returns.

Barrios writhes in pain!

He touches his shoulder after falling on Koundé. The doctors come in.

Atleti protests

Araújo left the zone and went hard to the ground, but he didn't get a card for the foul.

Llorente is at center back

He's positioned between Molina and Lenglet, at the same height. In attack, he's a full-back, and the Argentine is practically a winger.

Enter... and card

Molina went to the ground with the iron in front of him in the fight with Eric, who needs to be treated.

Flick also moves the bench

Araújo and Eric replace Cubarsí and Fermín. Lamine has blood on his ankle.

Simeone's fourth change

Le Normand leaves his place to Molina.

Fermín caresses a great goal

He won the back and looked for a very difficult control, but he ended up going long and Musso kept it.

And Raphinha almost scores!

Lamine left three red-and-white players behind, but the Brazilian found Musso. He also had a passing option.

Lenglet had it!

Íñigo took his shot on the second play. On the first, he appeared to have fouled Szczesny .

This is another Atleti

Now he's scaring Barça. Llorente beat the defense, but Szczesny caught the pass.

Incredible opportunity for Sorloth!!

He was left alone against Szczesny and missed his shot at the near post. Griezmann was left alone to deliver the killer pass.

Ferran helps back

The striker cleared De Paul 's cross after a corner awarded by Barcelona following a poor throw-in.

Raphinha looks for the reply

He was forced to reach the goal line and his cross was cleared by the Atlético defense in the center of the area.

Szczesny's great save!!

Atleti repeated the move, and this time the Norwegian made his move, passing to Griezmann . The Pole took it, but there was an offside signal.

Szczesny, very attentive

He left his area to prevent Sorloth from reaching the through ball.

Let Griezmann know!

Javi Galán's run surprised Barça and they had a comfortable cross. The Frenchman didn't need to use the difficult volley at the far post.

The second part begins!!!

Atleti put it back into play in search of a comeback.

Cargando...

Halftime!! Barça would be a finalist!!

The red-and-white players are eating up the referee. Everything remains open despite Barça's advantage.

Cargando...

More controversy at the Metropolitano!

Giuliano was pushed by Balde as he was leaving alone, but Munuera Montero ordered the serve to be repeated.

The umpteenth yellow card for Atleti

Julian clearly caught Lamine when he overtook him with a static turn.

Barrios is desperate!

Pedri stole the ball with his arm, but it was completely stuck. The referee didn't signal anything, and the play ended with a corner for Barça.

Three more minutes will be played

Atleti tried to surprise with a free kick, but Julián couldn't control it.

Simeone doesn't like what he sees

Sorloth comes in to warm up and joins Lenglet and Lino. Atleti have not been causing any problems since the opening stretch.

Atleti struggles to get out

Reinildo failed to clear the ball, to Simeone's despair, and he ended up on the ground while denying it on the touchline. He's desperate.

Musso prevents Raphinha's goal!!

He opened his control too wide and lost his angle. Good footwork from the Argentine.

De Paul will be able to continue

He was treated, but he got up to speak with Munuera.

The yellow ones change sides

Now De Jong sees it for stepping on De Paul, a first for a Barça player.

Let Le Normand know!

The center-back was all alone in finishing off the free kick taken from the left. Reinildo bothered him.

Harassment and demolition of the culé

Baldé took the plunge, without luck, from far away. Atleti hasn't woken up.

Raphinha's foul almost poisoned him!

The shot touched the wall and went out to the opposite side. Fortunately for Atleti, it went over.

Third yellow card for Atlético

For grabbing and tripping Lamine Yamal, who is very active. He protested a lot.

Barça forgives the second!!

Pedri looked to backheel Raphinha after a great dribble from Lamine, who finished off the rebound, but missed. Atleti are saved.

Goooooooooal from Ferran!!!

Lamine invented a great pass for the striker to touch with his toe to beat Musso.

Ferran agrees with Flick

The 'Shark' is having a great first half and opens the scoring. Lamine saw his movement behind him and only had to touch it with his toe to beat Musso , who was unable to close the gap.

Cargando...

Simeone and the entire Metropolitano protest!

Lamine tripped Barrios after he had beaten her. She was timid, but the red and whites claimed it was a promising attack.

Musso, very attentive

Fermín broke into the gap, but the goalkeeper anticipated the shot in the area to prevent it.

Le Normand again!!

Barça accelerated in the final meters with a one-two between Ferran and Fermín, who was denied by the defender. The former appealed for a penalty after a touch from Reinildo.

Lamine takes out his class

A beautiful and effective chipped pass to Koundé, who looked for a header in the box. He couldn't finish.

What a move by Barça!

A spectacular short combination to reach the area. Raphinha set up Ferran, but Le Normand saved the shot.

Le Normand, without space

Griezmann 's cross flew wide of the post, but the center back couldn't keep it in play.

Bucket closes the gap

Llorente moved into a central position and looked for him down low. The full-back cleared, and it was a corner.

Ferran laments

Fermín tried to put it in front of him right away, but he didn't expect it and stopped dead in his tracks. The move could have been dangerous.

Another yellow card for Atlético

De Paul also arrived late and stepped on Raphinha's ankle. Much lower than before.

Lamine had it!!

Silence fell at the Metropolitano for a second. He cut inside and shot wide, too much this time.

Giuliano's first appearance

He put a low ball into the area, which was cleared in an unorthodox manner by Íñigo Martínez.

There is also a yellow card for Simeone

After announcing his decision, he approached the red-and-white bench and showed another yellow card.

Munuera maintains his decision!!

He contradicts VAR and keeps the yellow card. Azpilicueta is saved.

VAR calls Munuera Montero!

The action is on the edge of its seat. The photo leaves a bit of a doubt; the movement seems excessive for the current moment.

Raphinha needs to be taken care of

He took the hit with the iron between his calf and heel. Lamine and Koke were talking on the touchline during the break.

Salvador Azpilicueta!

He shot from outside to find Raphinha, but the defender appeared in the nick of time. A frantic start!

Atleti is coming too!

The red-and-white team reached the area, but Julián was unable to cut in on the right side of the box.

Musso puts his fists in

The Argentine looked confident on Barça's first corner. Koundé committed a foul on the second corner.

Giménez avoids the first!

Lamine got his back to the defender for the first time, but the Uruguayan threw himself to the ground to prevent Raphinha from pushing him.

Munuera wants it to be played

Griezmann's first outburst, as he took off after stealing.

The game is starting!!!

Ferran put the ball in motion and the game is now underway at the Metropolitano.
