Copa del Rey: Barcelona dumped out of competition


Barcelona will not defend their Copa del Rey title after they were defeated 3-2 by Athletic Bilbao in the last 16 on Thursday.

Athletic dominated the game and took the lead through Iker Muniain.

Ferran Torres netted this first goal for Barca to make it 1-1.

In the 86th minute, Inigo Martinez put Athletic back in the lead, but Pedri equalized in stoppage time.

Man-of-the-match Muniain scored the winner with a penalty in extra time, after VAR spotted a handball from Jordi Alba inside the area.

Athletic join Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Valencia, Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano, Mallorca and Cadiz in the quarter-finals.

The draw will take place on Friday
