That's probably the best result in terms of making things interesting in the second leg. Atletico are very much still in it with the one-goal deficit but that will encourage them to attack early on. Barcelona will also want to get an early goal to make things more comfortable.
The second leg is in Madrid next Wednesday.
Barcelona are keeping the ball inside Atletico's half. It looks like the hosts are going to secure this one-goal advantage going into the second leg.
...it is not great from Lionel Messi, though, as he curls the ball over the bar.
Three minutes of stoppage time and Barcelona win another free-kick, Lionel Messi drawing the foul out of Diego Godin right on the edge of the area, central. Messi territory...
Luis Enrique wants to protect this advantage and on comes defender Marc Barta for Andres Iniesta, while Atletico throw on forward Raul Jimenez for Gabi.
How will Atletico react now? For so long they had seemed content to play for the draw, but will they go for it now? Four minutes remaining.
Lionel Messi takes the penalty, it is straight at keeper Jan Oblak, who saves superbly but the Barcelona man is quick to react and stab in the rebound.
Barcelona get their free-kick soon after as Guilherme Siqueira wrestles Lionel Messi to the ground, 25 yards from goal. He fancies the free-kick and drills it into the wall, but the referee awards a penalty when Sergio Busquets is adjudged to be fouled in the area by Gabi!
The Barcelona players and fans want a free-kick just outside the Atletico area when a Lionel Messi pass appears to strike the arm of an Atletico player. Luis Suarez is fuming, but his protestations only result in him being shown a yellow card.
That's the end of Ivan Rakitic's game as Barcelona boss Luis Enrique makes his first change of the game, bringing on Xavi for the final 14 minutes.
Luis Suarez wants a free-kick. He tries to pull away from Diego Godin and race on to a ball but goes to ground. He screams at the linesman but he made a meal of it to be honest.
You get the feeling that neither manager will be too disappointed with a draw from this game. It lacks tempo as well as conviction from the players when they get shots away. Andres Iniesta tries his luck from distance, but Jan Oblak has the Barcelona midfielder's low drive well covered.
Barcelona almost unlock the Atletico defence as some neat passing between Neymar and Lionel Messi ends with the ball being played just behind Luis Surez in the area. Suarez, with two Atletico players in close attention, then falls in the area clutching his face. He's looking for something, but not getting it.
Let's have your Copa del Rey predictions. Who will win this game and why? And which team do you think will win the whole tournament?
Aashish: What Diego Simeone has done with Atletico Madrid is modern day footballing alchemy. 1-0 Atletico.
Ahmad elRufa'i: Atletico can win here. They won't have much possession but move very quickly, are good at creating chances and are organised defensively.

Diego Simeone does indeed decide to make a change and midfielder Raul Garcia is on for Antoine Griezmann.
There is very little creativity on show so far, Lionel Messi tries his best as he produces some trickery to dance along the edge of the box, but he is going nowhere and Atletico mop up. The away side are set to make a change.
Atletico Madrid have their first foray forward in this half as Koke crosses into the area for Mario Mandzukic. It is a deep ball, too deep for Mandzukic who can only watch the ball fly out of play.
Jack Buchanan: With Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in the team, surely Barcelona have to be the favourites.
Josh Brannan: Barcelona will win this game, and they will win the Copa del Rey as well. But it won't be easy with Atletico.
Ammar: Has any Liverpool striker played well after leaving them in the Premier League era? Seems like playing for them is a curse.
Earlier, Luis Suarez blazed wildly over the bar from close range, while Fernando Torres was replaced at half-time, having seen his sole attempt on goal blocked by the legs of Gerard Pique.
