Barcelona booked their place in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey after a 2-0 win over Espanyol at Camp Nou. It was, perhaps unsurprisingly, a pretty feisty affair but early goals from Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi did the damage. Barca dominated throughout but weren’t quite as clinical as they have been recently. However, they did enough to win and we also got to see Philippe Coutinho make his debut.
FIRST HALF
The first half was pretty much as we all expected as Barcelona came flying out of the blocks and went on the attack from the off.
