Luis Suarez struck a decisive goal as Barcelona booked their place in the finals of the Copa del Rey following a thrilling 3-2 aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou here on Wednesday.
Luis Enrique's side, which were leading 2-1 from the first leg, settled for a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in their second leg of the semi-finals to storm into the summit showdown.
Suarez tapped on in the 43rd minute of the match to open the scoring for Barcelona before his team-mate Sergi Roberto and Atletico's Yannick Carrasco were sent off for receiving two yellow cards.
Substitute Kevin Gameiro then missed a penalty corner for Atletico before equalising the score from close range seven minutes prior to the injury time,goal.com reported.
Title holders Barcelona will now meet either Alaves or Celta Vigo in the finals with those sides playing their second leg of the last-four clash later today.
