RC Celta 0-0 Atletico Madrid
The side from Galicia and Madrid gave the starting signal for the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey at Estadio de Balaidos, where no goals were score but where there was plenty of excitement and opportunities for both teams. Celta were closer to winning the game in the last few minutes, when Gabi had to save a bad clearance by Augusto Fernandez on the goal line.
Athletic Club 1-2 FC Barcelona
The Catalan side opened the score in the 18th minute, when Ivan Rakitic’s great assist didn’t go to waste and was buried into goal by Munir scoring the 0-1. Hardly five minutes later, Sergio Roberto played with Neymar down the left wing and the Brazilian extended the lead with his 20th goal of the season.
Athletic fought to turn the tables in the second half and ended up with some reward in the final minutes. Aritz Aduriz was the man in charge of reducing the difference, after San Jose’s assist, and then Marc-Andre ter Stegen put his hero cape on and avoided the draw in the 90th minute.
