Luis Suarez got the decisive goal as Barcelona beat Valencia 1-0 in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Thursday.
Barcelona took control of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Valencia after Luis Suarez's second-half header ended the visitors' resistance and secured a 1-0 first-leg win at Camp Nou on Thursday.
Ernesto Valverde's men looked to be in for a frustrating outing as they struggled to turn their domination into something meaningful, but eventually Lionel Messi clicked into gear and provided Suarez with the chance to give Barca the advantage.
The first half was a long one for Valencia, who restricted Barca's flow of chances but faced a seemingly endless barrage and only managed to see 21 per cent of the ball.
