US EditionGoalkeeper’s Gaffe as Barcelona Trails 4-0 at Halftime Against Atletico in Copa Del Rey Semifinals
- On Thursday, Barcelona goalkeeper Joan García let a defender's back pass slip under his foot, opening the scoring as Atletico Madrid led 4-0 at halftime in the Copa del Rey first leg.
- Eric Garcia's back pass proved costly when García miscontrolled it outside the six-yard box, turning a routine play into Atletico’s opening chance.
- García raced back and failed to stop the ball; he swatted it back into play and Atletico forward Ademola Lookman scored, though the ball had earlier crossed the goal line.
- The scoring cascade continued through the first half as Antoine Griezmann gave Atletico a 2-0 lead in the 14th, Lookman added a third in the 33rd, and Julián Álvarez scored in stoppage time.
- Seven minutes in, the decisive error changed the tie during the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals at the Metropolitano stadium.
