Barcelona doesn’t slip up. In the Copa del Rey round where Real Madrid was sensationally eliminated by Albacete—a club at risk of relegation to Serie C—the Blaugrana win in Santander and qualify for the quarterfinals against Real Sociedad.
However, be warned, because for Flick’s men it was anything but a walk in the park. The final 0-2 scoreline tells a very different story from the match that unfolded at the Campos de Sport de El Sardinero.

After taking the lead thanks to a beautiful goal by Ferran Torres, Barça then repeatedly risked conceding an equalizer. In fact, on two occasions the home side even managed to score, but both times were ruled offside.
In the end, after another major scare, Barcelona sealed the win with Lamine Yamal, who put the word “end” to the match in the 90’+5 minute.
It was still a hard-fought match, once again highlighting a format that makes this competition much more attractive than our Coppa Italia. Just imagine what a much wider result we’d be talking about now if the match had been played at Camp Nou...
Maybe one day we’ll get there too, and the Coppa Italia will fill stadiums again as it does abroad. For now, though, the gap remains huge.
