Fans will be treated to El Clasico in the Copa del Rey Final after Barcelona earned a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano to complete a 5-4 aggregate win in the semi-final on Wednesday night.

Both teams played out an entertaining 4-4 draw in the first leg, and 24 hours after Real Madrid came through an eight-goal thriller of theirs in the first semi-final against Real Socedad, the Catalans came through a more tense second leg in Madrid thanks to Ferran Torres.

The Spanish forward scored the decisive goal after 27 minutes, stretching at full length to poke home a Lamine Yamal pass across the Atletico area for his fifth goal in the competition.

Atletico though they had got a goal back in the 69th minute through substitute, Alexander Sorloth, as the Norwegian looked set to torment Barca yet again, only for the effort to be ruled out for offside.
