FC Barcelona’s possible opponents in Copa del Rey quarter finals


Victory over Unionistas de Salamanca means that Barça will be one of the eight teams going into the draw for the Copa del Rey quarter finals this Friday at 1pm CET. The seven possible opponents are Sevilla, Athletic Club, Mallorca, Celta, Real Sociedad, Girona and Atlético Madrid.

Sevilla were the first side through thanks to a 3-1 win at Getafe. An hour later, full time blew on Athletic Club‘s 2-0 defeat of fellow Basque side Alavés and then Mallorca squeezed through 1-0 at one of the two lower league sides to make it this far, Tenerife.

There was yet another away win for Celta on Wednesday, 3-0 at Valencia, and the visitors were also victorious when Real Sociedad beat Osasuna 2-0. And league leaders Girona kept their hopes of what would be an extraordinary double alive when they saw off Rayo Vallecano 3-1.

The last team through are Atlético Madrid after their 4-2 win over Real Madrid in extra time in the final tie of the round.
