Copa Del Rey
Barcelona set up Madrid cup meeting [UEFA.com]
Barcelona played an uninspired match against Osasuna in the second leg of the Copa del Rey last 16, eventually winning 2-1. As UEFA says:
Having won the Camp Nou leg 4-0, the second leg was set to be a formality, but Osasuna gave an unfamiliar-looking Barcelona side a tough ride in the first half, taking the lead when José Pinto failed to get a firm enough hand to Serbian forward Dejan Leki?’s shot.
The home team scored the first goal in freezing fog that had threatened to postpone the match and no doubt the players were looking forward to the final whistle throughout the match. However, after the break they came on somewhat reinvigorated and Alexis scored 5 minutes in. It wasn’t until minute 72 that Sergi Roberto scored a second goal for Barça, set up by Messi.
Current title holders Real Madrid will play hosts next Wednesday in the quarter finals, with the Nou Camp leg played a week later.
