Match Report

Atlético Madrid are through to the Champions League semifinals after holding off a spirited Barcelona fightback at the Metropolitano. The hosts lost the night 2-1 but advanced 3-2 on aggregate, protecting the 2-0 first-leg advantage they had built at Camp Nou. Lamine Yamal struck in the 4th minute and Ferran Torres added a second in the 23rd to flip the tie in Barcelona's favor on the night. Ademola Lookman answered for Atlético in the 31st — the goal that ultimately proved decisive on aggregate. Torres then had a third ruled out for offside after the hour, before Eric García was dismissed in the 79th following a VAR review for hauling down Alexander Sørloth, leaving Barcelona to fight with ten men through eight added minutes. Atlético advance to the last four to face either Arsenal or Sporting Lisbon. For Barcelona, a brave night ended in elimination — García's red card the final, costly blow to any lingering comeback hopes.
