"Barcelona" and Madrid's "Atletico" played an incredible match in the first leg of the King's Cup ("Copa del Rey") semifinal.

The first match in the Catalan capital ended with a high score – 4:4.

In the first 6 minutes, "Atletico" scored two goals – Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann were on target.

In the first half, "Barca" managed to turn the score around. The defenders Inigo Martinez, Jules Kounde, and the dazzling midfielder Pedri all found the net.

In the 74th minute, after coming on as a substitute, Robert Lewandowski doubled "Barca's" lead.
