Simeone urged his team not to be complacent in the second leg despite leading 4-0 on aggregate.
  Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone stressed that his team must not be complacent when facing champions Barcelona in the second leg of the King's Cup despite holding a commanding 4-0 aggregate lead.

"We're just focused on the match ahead of us, against a very good opponent. They play an attacking, open game, and they play as a team, making them one of the most competitive teams in La Liga and Europe," Simeone said.

Atletico's big lead comes after an impressive performance in the first leg last month, when they scored four first-half goals and prevented Barcelona from scoring in domestic competition for the first time this season.

The result puts Los Rojiblancos on the brink of their first Copa del Rey final since the 2012/13 season.
