FT: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Barcelona
'Luis Suarez scored the best goal of his Barcelona career so far and Lionel Messi added a brilliant second but Atletico Madrid fought back to keep the Copa del Rey semi-final alive into next week’s second leg.
'Barcelona are favourites to reach the final and Suarez’ first will live long in the memory but once again Diego Simone’s side showed they never know when they are beaten pulling a goal back from Antoine Griezmann.
'Suarez was just inside the Atletico Madrid half when he received the ball for the opening goal. Mascherano had won it deep in midfield for Barcelona and it ran to Suarez. He had space to take it into his stride on the turn first giving Diego Godin the slip and then running at Godin’s defensive partner Stefan Savic.
