Atletico Madrid

Early goals by Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane, both created by Trent Alexander-Arnold, put the Reds in full command and there was no way back for the Spanish side once Felipe was sent off before half-time.

Jurgen Klopp's side should have dished out more punishment after the break but missed a flurry of chances and Jota had another strike ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee.

Atletico Madrid's star forward is on Manchester United's radar, according to Sky sources, but Griezmann signed a new five-year deal last summer and has made no secret of his reservations about coming to the Premier League.

The game saw three red cards, two goals, one missed penalty as well as two disallowed goals, but with a 1-1 draw on the night, it was the current holders of the trophy who made the final on May 27.

Luis Suarez gave Barcelona the lead with two minutes of the first half to play, with the hosts going down to 10 men 12 minutes after the restart with a second yellow card for Sergi Roberto before Yannick Ferreira Carrasco followed suit not long after.
