Diego Simeone's Atlético stunned Barcelona 4-0 in the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, with Antoine Griezmann, Ademola Lookman (scoring and assisting), and Julián Álvarez striking ruthlessly on counters before Eric García's red card and own goal made it 4-0. Despite Barcelona's 65% possession and youth stars like Lamine Yamal, they had zero first-half shots on target amid injuries to Pedri, Raphinha, and others. Simeone's compact defense and transitions dominated, putting Atlético one step from the final as Barça needs a 5-0 miracle at Camp Nou.
