– Copa del Rey Semi-Final Thrashing: In the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Atletico Madrid absolutely dominated Barcelona, winning 4-0.
– Atletico took an early lead with an own goal by Eric Garcia in the 6th minute.
– Antoine Griezmann, Ademola Lookman, and Julian Alvarez then piled on the goals, with Alvarez scoring just before halftime to make it 4-0.
– Barcelona even had a goal by Pau Cubarsi disallowed after a lengthy VAR review for offside.
– To make matters worse, Eric Garcia received a red card in the final stages of the game.
– This means Barcelona has a massive mountain to climb in the second leg on March 3rd.
– La Liga Defeat: It seems Barcelona also played a La Liga match yesterday, losing 2-1 to Girona FC. This adds to the pressure building on the team after two “massive defeats” that leave their season in “huge danger”.
It sounds like it was a really tough day for Barcelona fans!
