Barcelona will face bitter rivals Real Madrid in a mouth-watering Copa del Rey final after beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 at a feverish Metropolitano Stadium on Wednesday to complete a 5-4 aggregate triumph.
After an eight-goal thriller in the first leg in Barcelona, Ferran Torres' 27th-minute strike from inside the penalty area was enough for the Catalans to book their place in the final in Seville later this month.
Torres was released by Lamine Yamal in the centre of the park, took the ball in his stride and unleashed a low shot into the bottom left-hand corner of the net past goalkeeper Juan Musso.
Atletico came close to equalising in the second half, with substitute Alexander Sorloth missing from close range, but Barca held on for a narrow victory.
After Real Madrid battled back from a 4-4 draw with Real Sociedad on Tuesday to win 5-4 on aggregate, Wednesday's result set up a Clasico between Real and Barca in the final, something that has not happened in over a decade.
Both sides are still in contention for three trophies this season, having reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and are in a two-horse race for the LaLiga title.
Barcelona lead the LaLiga table on 66 points, three clear of Real, with third-placed Atletico a further six points adrift with nine games remaining.
Real travel to London to face Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals next week, while Barca host Borussia Dortmund. They will meet in the final at La Cartuja on 26 April.
