BARCELONA (Reuters) - Luis Suarez scored and was sent off as holders Barcelona reached a fourth successive King's Cup final after drawing 1-1 with a resilient Atletico Madrid in an action-packed semi-final second leg on Tuesday. Suarez was one of three players dismissed and will now miss the final after Barcelona edged through 3-2 on aggregate. Barca, the 28-times winners, will meet either Alaves or Celta Vigo in the final in May, seeking a third successive Cup triumph under coach Luis Enrique. Barca struggled to maintain possession and a Suarez shot into the side netting had been their only dangerous moment until Messi skipped clear on the break. "Barca were only better than us in goals scored, although that's what counts the most in football," Atletico coach Diego Simeone told reporters.
