Barcelona started the match excellently and took the lead as early as the fourth minute with a goal from Lamine Yamal, assisted by Torres. In the 24th minute, an in-form Torres then capitalized on a pass from Olmo to double the Catalans' advantage, also leveling the aggregate score to 2-2 across the two matches. However, the celebration lasted only seven minutes, as Lookman scored an extremely important goal for Atletico. The score at halftime was 2-1. Barcelona came out strong in the second half as well, and in the 55th minute, Torres again found the net against Atletico, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside. The match was likely decided in the 79th minute when Garcia received a direct red card for a harsh challenge as the last defender. Playing with a man down, Barcelona lacked the strength to extend their lead and turn the tie around, allowing the celebration of Atletico's fans to begin. In the Champions League semifinals, Atletico will face the winner of the tie between Sporting and Arsenal. In the first leg, Arsenal won 1-0, with the return match to be played tomorrow. Result and scorers: Atletico - Barcelona 1:2 (Lookman 31' - Lamine Yamal 4', Torres 24') *Aggregate: 3:2 to Atletico
