Barcelona were thrashed 4-0 by Atlético Madrid in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, completely overwhelmed. Dominated by Los Colchoneros, the Blaugrana were crushed for a half before their last-minute attempts to reduce the deficit proved futile. After the match, however, defender Eric Garcia expressed confidence for the return leg.
“ There are 90 minutes left, we’re playing at home, with our fans at the Camp Nou, with the team we have, the players we’ll have back. I have no doubt we can turn things around,” he said. Sent off in the 86th minute for a foul on Alex Baena, he will miss the second leg.
