    Barcelona won 1-0 at Atletico Madrid to reach its first Copa del Rey final in four seasons on Wednesday, setting up a “clasico” against Real Madrid.

    Ferran Torres scored a first-half winner for the Catalan club, which advanced 5-4 on aggregate after a 4-4 draw in the first leg in Barcelona in February.

    Real Madrid also overturned a two-goal deficit against Real Sociedad to reach the Copa del Rey final after an extra-time header by substitute Antonio Rüdiger secured a barnstorming 4-4 draw on Tuesday for a 5-4 aggregate win.

    The visitors gave Real Madrid a scare as they grabbed the lead through Ander Barrenetxea in the 16th minute but a lovely dinked effort by Endrick levelled the score 15 minutes later.

    Following a 1-0 win in the first-leg, Carlo Ancelotti’s side looked comfortable, with a draw securing them a place in the final.

    The Copa del Rey final is scheduled for  26 April.
