On Wednesday late evening in Spain, three King's Cup quarter-final matches were played. The most anticipated match took place at the "Camp Nou" stadium, where the local team "Barcelona" faced Madrid's "Atletico" team. A goal scored at the end of the match determined the victory of the Catalan team with a score of 1-0. Right from the start of the match, the hosts began to dominate, and the first dangerous episode near Jan Oblak's goal came after Neymar's shot towards the goal. Throughout the first half, the ball was more often in possession of the "Barcelona" players. "Atletico" tried to counterattack several times, but Ter Stegen had no trouble. The next 45 minutes were quite similar, and "Barcelona" continued to dominate. However, the decisive goal was only scored in the 85th minute when Juanfran fouled Sergio Busquets in the penalty area. From the 11-meter mark, the four-time best player in the world Lionel Messi stood. The shot of the Argentine was saved by the "Atletico" goalkeeper, but L. Messi corrected the mistake and sent the rebounded ball into the net. The second leg of the quarter-finals between the champions and vice-champions of Spain will take place at the "Vicente Calderon" stadium on January 28. In other matches, "Villarreal" also narrowly defeated Madrid's "Getafe", and the match between "Malaga" and Bilbao "Athletic" ended in a draw.
