Barcelona are through to the Copa del Rey Semi-Finals in the most bizarre circumstances; after trailing by two goals to nil in the 88th minute, to winning 5-3 after extra time – it was a magical night in the cup for all Culers. Check out our full match review on that unbelievable game down below:

Ronald Koeman went strong with his team selection for this one, and despite dominating proceedings and carving out several great chances, Barça found themselves 2-0 down with barely any time left, as it looked like the only attainable title up for grabs this season was to be let go.

But goals in the 88th and 92nd minute meant Barça were headed from extra time, after some incredible late heroics from Messi, Griezmann and Jordi Alba. And the ‘Blaugrana’ were soon in front in extra time, and completed the comeback through Griezmann’s excellent header; but Granada immediately equalised through a cheap penalty – unbelievable drama.

Eventually, in the second half of extra time, de Jong and Jordi Alba struck gold, and Barça were safely through. An epic Quarter Final, that simply had it all, and an impressive show of desire, attitude and resilience from Ronald Koeman’s side.
