A miracle was needed, a major upset, but in the end Barça only created an illusion, they came very close, they scored 3 goals, but Atletico Madrid's "wall" resisted until the end, with Simone's team "flying" into the final thanks to a 4-0 victory in the first leg.
At the Camp Nou, as expected, Barça started the match on the attack, with Yamal providing a clean assist for Bernal in the 29th minute, with the Spanish midfielder having an easy time pushing the ball into the empty net. On the edge of the first half, Barça won a penalty. From the penalty spot, Raphinha proved to be accurate, doubling the score.
Pushed by the fans, Barça did not give up on the offensive phase and in the 72nd minute, Bernal proved to be accurate once again by converting Cancelo's assist into a goal. Unfortunately, Bernal's "double" only kept the atmosphere charged, but in the end the party was all for Atletico Madrid who secured a ticket to the final where on April 18 they will face the winner of the Real Sociedad-Athletic Bilbao pair.
Despite this elimination, Flick and his boys leave with their heads held high, a fact that even the German coach admits: "We are disappointed, but also proud of what we saw. It was an extraordinary match, we created many chances, but in the end it was not what we all expected. After the two defeats against Atletico and Girona, we talked a lot in the locker room. I think the team reacted, everyone was fantastic", said Hansi Flick.
