Atletico Madrid tore Barcelona apart with four first-half goals to secure a 4-0 victory in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal, leaving the holders staring at a near-impossible task in the return match.
Diego Simeone’s side needed only 45 minutes at home to seize control of the tie on Thursday, capitalising on a calamitous early error, before carving Hansi Flick’s team open at will to move to the brink of April’s final in Seville.
