On Thursday evening, the last second leg quarter-final match of the King's Cup was played. After losing the first match, "Barcelona" sought revenge against "Espanyol" in front of their own fans. Ernesto Valverde's plan worked - "Barca" scored two goals and advanced to the next stage with an overall result of 2-1. The first goal of the match came in the 9th minute - after a great pass from Aleix Vidal, Luis Suarez defeated the opponent's goalkeeper with a precise shot. The second goal for "Barcelona" did not take long - in the 25th minute, Lionel Messi sent the ball into the opponent's goal for the second time. The Argentine scored after an unsuccessful attempt by the opponents to block the ball. In the second half, "Barca" had several great opportunities to score, but the visitors also had their chances. However, the result remained 2-0, and the champions of the previous season's tournament left the field in high spirits. It is worth noting that in the 68th minute, instead of Andres Iniesta, the record "Barca" signing Philippe Coutinho appeared on the field, playing his first match for the team. All four semi-finalists in the King's Cup are clear - "Sevilla", "Valencia", "Leganes", and "Barcelona". Result: "Barcelona" 2 - 0 "Espanyol" (First match: 0-1, final result: 2-1) 9' [1 - 0] L. Suarez 25' [2 - 0] L. Messi
