As expected, Barcelona ease their way into the final four of the Copa Del Rey, but they were made to work for the result - especially in the first half. Athletic Bilbao played a good game, but in the end the home side had too much for them. The Catalans march on.
FULL-TIME: Barcelona 3-1 Athletic Bilbao (5-2 on aggregate)
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 3 (91 mins - Neymar) Athletic Bilbao 1. The result has been settled for a while now, but Neymar has the goal that he wanted so badly! He smashes a finish high into the Athletic Bilbao net. Wonderful.
Two minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.
Barcelona just have the kind of match-winning quality that Athletic Bilbao don't. There hasn't been too much between the two sides, but the hosts carry too much threat.
Aduriz makes the case to the referee that Busquets threw an albow into his face, but whilst there was certainly contact between the two players the replays are pretty inconclusive.
MESSI CURLS HIS SHOT WIDE OF THE TARGET! The Barcelona number 10 has been kept quiet for the most part tonight, but he was given the chance to find the net there.
ALVES WITH A GOAL-SAVING SLIDE! The Brazilain full-back makes sure that Sabin doesn't get the ball at the back post. It would have been a simple finish for the Athletic man.
Athletic Bilbao have played a good game, and perhaps should have been further ahead than 1-0 at the break. In the end though they have been beaten by a side with more quality.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 2 (82 mins - Gerard Pique) Athletic Bilbao 1. That will most likely be game over. Pique stays up from a set piece and heads home from close range following Alves' recycled cross into the penalty box.
ANOTHER GREAT SAVE FROM HERRERIN! Pique looked to have found the net with a header from a corner kick, but the Athletic keeper pulls off the save to claw away from goal.
HERRERIN PULLS OFF ANOTHER STOP! From the rebound off Neymar's shot Rakitic takes the strike. It picks up a deflection, but once again the Athletic keeper is on hand to make the stop.
NEYMAR'S SHOT REQUIRED SAVING! The Brazilian attempted to find the bottom corner with a curling strike, but Herrerin was equal to it and makes the save to deny him.
That has actually been a theme all the way though this match. Neymar has tried too much almost every time he has received the ball. It's as if he has been showboating from the start.
Neymar take far too long to make the pass! He could have slotted in Roberto down the left channel, but he held on to it and that gave Athletic the time to recover and reset themselves.
Roberto was looking for Suarez with his cross, and he found the striker, but he had nothing to do with it when it came to him. His flicked on attempt doesn't find Neymar, or anyone else.
Athletic Bilbao sub: Javi Eraso OFF, Iker Muniain ON.
