Barcelona, Juventus and Paris march on

WEDNESDAY
Barcelona 3-1 Athletic Club, agg: 4-3 (Suárez 35, Neymar 48p, Messi 78; Saborit 51)
Lionel Messi’s free-kick 12 minutes from time took Barcelona into the Copa del Rey quarter-finals over the next two midweeks after the holders overturned their first-leg deficit. Luis Suárez’s 100th goal for Barcelona, in only his 120th appearance, put them ahead on away goals and Neymar converted a penalty which he won himself to edge his team in front on aggregate. Enric Saborit replied and extra time loomed before Messi joined his attacking colleagues on the scoresheet.
