In a highly anticipated Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, Barcelona will host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Barcelona holds the record for the most Copa del Rey titles, having lifted the trophy 31 times, while Atletico Madrid, with 10 victories, ranks fourth in the competition's history, trailing behind Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. Although the Copa del Rey may not be Barcelona's top priority this season-given their current lead in La Liga and progression to the last 16 of the Champions League-the Catalan club is eager to reclaim the trophy, last won in the 2020-21 season.
