Barcelona Overcome Albacete to Secure Copa del Rey Semi-Final Spot

Barcelona booked their place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals with a hard-fought 2-1 win against Albacete, powered by a masterclass from teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.

The 16-year-old winger was the catalyst for Barcelona’s attack, netting a goal and fashioning two clear-cut opportunities in a commanding individual display. His statistics reflected his dominance: five key passes, five successful dribbles, six duels won, 104 touches, and flawless long-pass accuracy.

The match also featured an emotional return for defender Ronald Araújo, who celebrated his comeback with a goal. Speaking after the match, Araújo expressed his gratitude: “I’m very happy with the win and my goal. I want to thank God, my teammates, the manager, the club, and everyone who has trusted me. Coming back is a step-by-step process, and today I took a firm step. I feel very good and very happy.”

Despite Albacete’s resistance, Barcelona’s superior control and incisive attack ultimately prevailed, earning them a deserved spot in the competition’s final four. With young stars shining and key players returning to form, the Catalan side’s pursuit of a trophy this season continues to gain significant momentum.
