_Barcelona were comprehensively beaten by Atletico Madrid on Thursday in their first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie, with goals from Eric Garcia (OG), Antoine Griezmann, Ademola Lookman and Julian Alvarez._
Joan Garcia – 5
---------------
Gifted the opening goal to Atleti after failing to control Eric’s back-pass. It was an off-night for the Barcelona goalkeeper, who could not stop any of the other three goals.
Jules Kounde – 6
----------------
Ademola Lookman got the better of him, but the deficit was only four thanks to him. He made two excellent goal-saving blocks, one in each half.

Pau Cubarsi – 5
---------------
He’s been off-colour this season, and this was another poor showing. However, he was unfortunate to [have a goal ruled out by a marginal offside](https://www.football-espana.net/2026/02/12/atletico-madrid-barcelona-copa-disallowed-goal).
Eric Garcia – 5.5
-----------------
A rare blip in an otherwise stellar season. He conceded an own goal and was sent off late on, although neither incident can be blamed on him.
Alejandro Balde – 5
-------------------
Struggled up against Giuliano Simeone and Nahuel Molina.
Frenkie de Jong – 5
-------------------
Failed to establish any sort of control in midfield, aside from a period early in the second half.
Marc Casado – 4.5
-----------------
He struggled again, and on 36 minutes, he was sacrificed with the score already at 3-0 to allow Robert Lewandowski to be brought on.
Lamine Yamal – 5.5
------------------
Atleti will very well to keep him quiet.
Fermin Lopez – 5
----------------
Failed to continue his good form. Like so many of his teammates in attack, he could not make any sort of decisive impact.
Dani Olmo – 5
-------------
Moved on to the left for this match, but he has no impact whatsoever.
Ferran Torres – 5
-----------------
Did little in attack, and his poor pass led to Eric being sent off late.
### Substitutes
Robert Lewandowski – 5.5
------------------------
Made no impact after being brought on during the first half.
Ronald Araujo – 6
-----------------
Could not save the sinking ship.
Joao Cancelo – 6
----------------
Could not make a difference in defence or attack.
Gerard Martin – N/A
-------------------
Brought on as cover after Eric’s red card.
