Barça, who beat Cornia at the end of a thriller in the previous round with 0: 2 in extra time, saw both Real Madrid and Atletico relegated against teams from the third division and did not want to be relegated early, and indeed dominated the game from the first minute, but suffered a lot of bad luck in attack. Three times by the jamb.
The host started to gain confidence in the second half and in the 63rd minute gained a surprising advantage. Ronald Koeman realized he was fed up, and made a triple substitution that changed the game when he brought in Jordi Alba, Osman Dembele and Pedry, and the Catalans completed a makeover thanks to goals from Messi and de Jong, and are in the quarter-finals, and certainly one of the big favorites to win the title this season.
