The Bar\u00e7a team under Luis Enrique was responsible for these two feats in the 2014-2015 season, when they eliminated them in the quarter-finals, and in 2016-2017, where they did the same in the semi-finals.

This matchup set the tone for what would be a complicated relationship between both teams in the tournament. Under the direction of <strong>Luis Enrique<\/strong>, the cul\u00e9 team arrived with a lethal attacking trident formed by <strong>Messi<\/strong>, <strong>Su\u00e1rez<\/strong>, and <strong>Neymar<\/strong>, while the colchoneros, at their defensive peak, sought to reaffirm their strength after winning the Liga title in 2014.<\/p>  <p>In the first leg, <strong>the azulgrana team won 1-0 with a goal from Lionel Messi<\/strong> in the 85th minute, after a rebound in the area that the Argentine turned into pure gold. Atleti fought tooth and nail, true to their coach&#8217;s style, but could not prevent the score from tilting in favor of the hosts.<\/p>  <p>The rojiblancos sought a historic comeback in the return leg, which took place at the now-defunct Vicente Calder\u00f3n. Although goals from Fernando Torres and Ra\u00fal Garc\u00eda excited the Madrid fans, the Catalans responded and secured the victory and qualification to the semi-finals thanks to a brace from Neymar and an own goal from Miranda. After eliminating Villarreal in the next round, <strong>the team would be crowned champions after defeating 3-1 Athletic Club in the final<\/strong>.<\/p>  <h2>2016-2017: Heart-stopping semi-finals and an unstoppable Barcelona<\/h2>  <p>Two seasons later, in 2016\/17, <strong>Barcelona<\/strong> faced <strong>Atl\u00e9tico<\/strong> and <strong>&#8216;Cholo&#8217; Simeone<\/strong> again, this time in the semi-finals. With the Asturian coach still at the helm, the blaugranas arrived as favorites after a successful 2016, while the Madrid team sought their first cup final since 2013.<\/p>  <p>In the first leg, the colchoneros hosted the cul\u00e9s at the Vicente Calder\u00f3n. The Catalans struck quickly: <strong>Luis Su\u00e1rez<\/strong> opened the scoring in the 7th minute with a right-footed shot after a great individual play, and <strong>Messi<\/strong> doubled the lead in the 33rd minute with a long-range shot that surprised <strong>Moy\u00e1<\/strong>. Atleti reacted in the second half with a goal from <strong>Antoine Griezmann<\/strong> (59&#8242;), but the final score of 1-2 left the tie open.<\/p>  <p>In the return leg, held at the Camp Nou, the blaugrana team sealed their passage to the final. The &#8216;pistolero&#8217; was decisive again, scoring in the 43rd minute after a pass from Messi, and despite K\u00e9vin Gameiro leveling the score in the 83rd minute, the rojiblancos could not achieve the feat and were eliminated once more. <strong>Luis Enrique&#8217;s team would ultimately conquer the title by defeating Alav\u00e9s 3-1 in the final<\/strong>.<\/p>  <h2>How many Cups has Bar\u00e7a won after eliminating Simeone&#8217;s Atl\u00e9tico?<\/h2>  <p>Now, 8 years later, with <strong>Hansi Flick<\/strong> on the bench and a team led by young stars like <strong>Pedri<\/strong> and <strong>Lamine Yamal<\/strong> and veterans like <strong>Lewandowski<\/strong> and <strong>Raphinha<\/strong>, <strong>Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> has established itself as the nemesis of <strong>Atl\u00e9tico<\/strong> and &#8216;Cholo&#8217; in the Cup after knocking them out in a series filled with emotions and goals. This elimination was a heavy blow for the Argentine coach, whose team saw their last chance for a title vanish in a difficult season, while the cul\u00e9s dream more than ever of a treble.<\/p>  <p>In the two times the blaugranas<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>have eliminated the rojiblancos&nbsp;led by Simeone in the Copa del Rey, <strong>they have won the title on two occasions<\/strong>:<\/p>  <ul> <li> <strong>2014-2015<\/strong>: After the 4-2 in the quarter-finals, Bar\u00e7a defeated Athletic 3-1 in the final.<\/li> \t<li> <strong>2016-2017<\/strong>: With the 3-2 in the semi-finals, the cul\u00e9s prevailed 3-1 against Alav\u00e9s in the final.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>On April 26 at La Cartuja, the Catalans will have the opportunity to increase this statistic against the <strong>Real Madrid<\/strong>.
