Barcelona Beat Espanyol 2-1 at 2018 Spanish Copa Del Rey; Lionel Messi Scores

Barcelona took their spot in the semi-finals of this season's Copa del Rey after overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit to beat derby opponents Espanyol 2-1 on aggregate following Thursday's 2-0 triumph at the Camp Nou.

Philippe Coutinho made his Barcelona debut off the bench on a night where Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi's first-half goals proved sufficient for La Liga's leaders to move into the Copa's last four.

Barca were the last team to secure their place in the semi-finals and will find out their foe in Friday's Copa del Rey draw at 12 p.
