Barcelona must win at the Metropolitano if they are to reach the Copa del Rey final, and they are on course to get there after taking the lead against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final tie.
The first leg at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys finished 4-4 five weeks ago, and while Atleti could be considered favourites because of their home advantage for the return leg, Barcelona did win 4-2 in La Liga at the Metropolitano recently. And it is they that have broken the deadlock, with the goal coming from Ferran Torres.
