Atletico waltzed over Barcelona 4-0 in the Copa del Rey’s first semi-final match, Atletico Diego Simeone gestured in familiar style with various fingers pointed at Barcelona stars. Robert Lewandowski was on the pitch for Barcelona for around fifty minutes, but was unable to deliver a goal for his employer Barca.
