03:32 (IST)8 FEB 2017

That is all from our coverage of tonight's Copa del Rey semi-final clash between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. This is Shaurya Vineet signing off. In case of any comments or feedback, you can get in touch with me on Twitter @ShauryaVineet. Until then, goodbye and take care!

03:31 (IST)8 FEB 2017

The referee had a lot of decisions to make and he didn't get all of them correct. Three Red Cards and one Penalty later Barcelona reach the final of the Copa del Rey.

03:29 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Messi struck a wonderful free-kick from all of 35 yards which Moya was never going to save but it cannoned off the inside of the crossbar. Atleti did find their equaliser as Gameiro atoned for his penalty miss when Griezmann squared the ball to him.

03:28 (IST)8 FEB 2017

They then had another chance when Gameiro won the penalty, again a poor refereeing decision. But the Atletico forward blasted his penalty over and Barcelona were given another life line.

03:27 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Atletico will feel hard done by the referee here. Griezmann had found the back of the net but it was incorrectly ruled out for offside, a horrible horrible decision by the linesman.

03:26 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Game Over! Barcelona reach the final yet again. The defending champions will be defending their title against the winner of tomorrow's game between Alaves and Celta Vigo.

03:26 (IST)8 FEB 2017

FULL-TIME: Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid

03:25 (IST)8 FEB 2017

90+6' YELLOW CARD: Busquets is booked for kicking the ball out of play.

03:24 (IST)8 FEB 2017

90+4' YELLOW CARD: Luis is booked for his lunging tackle. Luis Enrique is livid on the touchline. 

03:24 (IST)8 FEB 2017

90+4' Messi tries to break on the counter but Filipe Luis tackles him from behind and the Argentine looks to be in severe pain.

03:23 (IST)8 FEB 2017

90+4' Barcelona are hanging on for dear lives. Atleti win a corner and Moya makes his way up .

03:22 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Barcelona are on the ropes here. Can Atletico find a way through?

03:22 (IST)8 FEB 2017

90+2' Correa makes his way into Barcelona's box and tries to cut the ball across the face of the opposition's goal but the ball strikes Griezmann and goes out.

03:21 (IST)8 FEB 2017

5 minutes of added time.

03:21 (IST)8 FEB 2017

With that, Suarez will miss the final should Barcelona progress.

03:20 (IST)8 FEB 2017

BARCELONA DOWN TO 9 MEN!

03:20 (IST)8 FEB 2017

90' RED CARD: And another red card, the third of the night. Luis Suarez has been given his marching orders for a foul on Koke. This is his second booking in less than 4 minutes.

03:19 (IST)8 FEB 2017

89' Atleti play the corner shot and Koke swings the ball into the box. The ball evades everyone in the box and goes out. That one was begging to be buried but no Atletico player could get on the end of it.

03:18 (IST)8 FEB 2017

88' Atletico Madrid win another free-kick in Barcelona's half but fail to make any inroads in Barcelona's defence and win a corner.

03:17 (IST)8 FEB 2017

This game has burst into life and still can swing in favour of the away side. Can Simeone's side make the last few minutes count?

03:16 (IST)8 FEB 2017

87' YELLOW CARD: Luis Suarez is booked for a foul on Juanfran.

03:15 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Still 1-1! Can Atleti find another?

03:15 (IST)8 FEB 2017

85' GOOALLL!!! Barcelona score but it is ruled out for Offside. Correct decision this time from the linesman. It was Messi who pings the ball above Atleti's defence and into the path of Suarez, who buries it home but the linesman has his flag up.

03:14 (IST)8 FEB 2017

The ball is played into Barcelona box and Pique tries to clear it but can only head it into the path of Griezmann. The Frenchman looks to go for goal but instead cuts the ball back for Gameiro who taps into an open net. Just when I was wondering if Atletico can score, they have and now need just another goal to force the game to extra-time.

03:12 (IST)8 FEB 2017

83' GOAALLL!!! Atletico score! And it is Gameiro who makes up for his mistake. 

03:11 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Can Atletico find a breakthrough tonight. They still have a little more than 10 minutes to save the match.

03:11 (IST)8 FEB 2017

80' GAMEIRO MISSES THE PENALTY! GAMEIRO goes for power over positioning and his shot brushes the top of the crossbar and into the stands. That penalty sums up the game for Atletico.

03:09 (IST)8 FEB 2017

The decision is slightly dubious as Pique got the ball and didn't bring down the forward. But Atletico were robbed off a chance earlier. Can they make it count now.

03:08 (IST)8 FEB 2017

79' PENALTY TO ATLETICO after Pique brings down Gameiro inside the box.

03:08 (IST)8 FEB 2017

77' HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN? The free-kick is in Messi territory. The Argentine stands over it - 30 yards from goal - and unleashes a left-footed piledriver that evades the wall and looks destined to be going towards the top corner but it crashes against the inside of the crossbar and Atleti survive. 

03:06 (IST)8 FEB 2017

77' YELLOW CARD: Savic is the next to go into the referee's book for a strong challenge on Suarez. The tension is flaring here at Camp Nou.

03:05 (IST)8 FEB 2017

76' Yellow Card: Cillessen is the next player to be booked, this one for time wasting.

03:04 (IST)8 FEB 2017

75' The game looks to be over for Atletico Madrid barring a late influx of goals. Does Simeone's charges have it in them to step up to the challenge when it counts?

03:03 (IST)8 FEB 2017

73' Correa has some space just outside Barcelona's box and he tries to test Cillessen from range but his shot lacked the venom to test the Dutchman.

03:02 (IST)8 FEB 2017

72' Substitution: And now it is time for Iniesta to come on. The Spaniard comes on to replace Ivan Rakitic.

03:01 (IST)8 FEB 2017

71' Substitution: Sergio Busquets comes on to replace Arda Turan. The Spaniard makes his return to the team after a lengthy injury layoff.

03:00 (IST)8 FEB 2017

69' YELLOW CARD/RED CARD: Yannick Carrasco is the second player to be sent off tonight. The Atletico forward lunges into a challenge on Turan near Barcelona's box and the referee deems it be worth a booking. He was booked in the first half and the numerical advantage of Atletico is over.

02:58 (IST)8 FEB 2017

68' Pique saves Barcelona. Saul curls the ball from the left and it looks to be on his way to Griezmann but Pique is there to clear it.

02:57 (IST)8 FEB 2017

67' Atleti win a corner after Juanfran is released down the right. The full-back tries to find Gameiro in the middle but his cross is diverted.

02:55 (IST)8 FEB 2017

66' YELLOW CARD: Rakitic is the next Barcelona player to go into the referee's book for showing dissent.

02:54 (IST)8 FEB 2017

64' Atleti are trying their best to make the most of their numerical advantage but Barcelona continue to hold on for now.

02:53 (IST)8 FEB 2017

62' Substitution: Javier Mascherano comes in place of Denis Suarez as Barcelona try to fill the space left by Roberto's dismissal.

02:52 (IST)8 FEB 2017

61' Substitution: Kevin Gameiro comes on to replace Fernando Torres. That is Atleti's third and final change for the night.

02:51 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Terrible terrible decision making from the linesman there. Griezmann was onside and the goal should have stood. Huge decision in favour of Barcelona.

02:51 (IST)8 FEB 2017

59' Atletico Madrid score but it is ruled out for offside! Griezmann was released into the box and the Frenchman finds the back of the net but it is ruled out for offside.

02:49 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Aleix Vidal was preparing to come on to replace Roberto who was already on a yellow but before he could make his way the Spaniard has been given his marching orders.

02:47 (IST)8 FEB 2017

WAIT! It is a RED CARD. Sergi Roberto is off and Barcelona are down to 10 men. Roberto was already booked early in the first half and it is an early shower for the Spaniard.

02:47 (IST)8 FEB 2017

57' YELLOW CARD/RED Card: Sergi Roberto has been booked again for a foul on Filipe Luis. 

02:45 (IST)8 FEB 2017

Aleix Vidal is preparing to come on. It will be interesting to see who he comes on to replace?

02:45 (IST)8 FEB 2017

55' Denis Suarez plays a ball across Atleti's box and Luis Suarez almost gets on the end of it. That could have been the game if the Uruguayan had reached it.
