Barcelona will have to overturn a 2-1 deficit at the Camp Nou on Wednesday if they’re to stay in the Copa del Rey, as they welcome Athletic Bilbao for the second leg of what should be a fascinating tie.
The Blaugrana lost the first leg at the San Mames. Having fallen 2-0 down, things could have been worse before Lionel Messi struck in the second period. The Basque outfit finished the match with nine men, as Raul Garcia and Ander Iturraspe both received their marching orders.
A narrow lead for Bilbao leaves the match poised ahead of the second leg.
