Barcelona survived a huge scare in the last 16 of the 2019-20 Copa del Rey as they beat third-tier side Ibiza 2-1 on Wednesday.

The Blaugrana, who won the tournament four seasons in a row before losing to Valencia in last season's final, went 1-0 down at the Estadi Municipal de Can Misses inside 10 minutes when Pep Caballe turned home from 12 yards.

With 20 minutes to go, the hosts were still ahead. But an Antoine Griezmann equaliser in the 72nd minute and a winner four minutes into injury time turned the game on its head to break Ibiza hearts and earn Quique Setien his second win from two in his new role as manager.
