The semifinal draw of the Copa del Rey
The Copa del Rey semifinal draw took place at the Spanish Football Federation headquarters on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, setting up two thrilling matchups.
Barcelona and Atlético Madrid will clash in the semifinals, potentially paving the way for a showdown with Real Madrid in the final.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad in the other semifinal tie.
The semifinals will be played over two legs, with Barcelona hosting Atlético in late February before traveling to Madrid for the return leg in April.
This means the two sides will meet three times in just over a month, including their La Liga encounter on March 16, 2025.
Atlético has already beaten Barcelona once this season, securing a 2-1 victory in December thanks to a late goal from Alexander Sørloth.
In the other semifinal, Real Sociedad will host Real Madrid in the first leg, with the return fixture taking place at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The first legs are scheduled for February 25 or 26, while the second legs will be played on April 1 or 2, 2025.
This season marks the first time since 2014 that La Liga’s top three clubs, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, and Barcelona have all reached the Copa del Rey semifinals.
Coincidentally, Real Sociedad was also part of the final four that year.
