Inaki Williams late goal in injury time was enough to knock out Catalans giant Barcelona from the quarter final of Copa del Rey. Barcelona were expected to capitalize on rival Real Madrid's elimination from the competition but the Catalans were unable to defeat Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames .

Barcelona's coach Quique Setién left French forward Antoine Greizmann in substitution bench and opted to use Lionel Messi as a false nine while being flanked by teenager Ansui Fati on the left and Sergi Roberto on the right. Barcelona struggled to find the back of the net for the entire duration of the game with Barça's best chance coming in the 88th minute when Arthur slots the ball into the part of Lionel Messi but the Argentine shot was blocked by Athletic Bilbao's goal keeper.

Inaki Williams got the only goal of the game late into injury time, when he headed home an in swinging cross from Gomez to win the game for the home team.

Barcelona joins Real Madrid, Villarreal and Valencia to exit Copa del Rey in the quarter final after losing 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao.

For the first time since the 2002/2003 season, neither Atletico Madrid, Barcelona nor Real Madrid will play in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Copa del Rey semi-finalists are:
Granada

Mirandes

You takes things like dribbling into consideration,
What about footwork, technicalities, heading,skills, does messi comes close to Ronaldo in those area? No!!
And you said Ronaldo can't dribble, At age 30 Ronaldo said he won't dribble but that doesn't mean he can't dribble even before 2013 he was a playmaker and in 2006 he was regarded as the best dribbler after ronaldiho.
He also won best mid fielder in man u.
Did you know Ronaldo is the only player to complete most dribble in a single game

Yesterday is for the risk takers in bet......just carry athletic Bilbao and real socieda straight win with 5k u don blow be that.

Most of the comments are from Nigerians so am not surprised..... Nigerians only care about current champion nothing like loyalty

You call the lazy jobless Nigerian trolls Messi/Barca fans?

I am not surprise that 99% of the people blasting him are all blacks from Nigeria and Ghana.

People that don't know what it is to work hard in life for the things you want.

Lazy motherforkers with cheap Tecno phones will just go online with cheap data and start insulting Lionel Messi.

People that can never last 30 minutes in a football Field.

This idiots think football is that easy, yet let them organise a community tournament and see them running in the field like jumbing chickens.

Be it Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, this people don't deserve to be criticize at all.

You think it's easy to be at the top for more than 10 years?

Nonsense!!!!!!!

Almost all comments are coming from blacks, possibly Nigerians. At these point, it's safe to say they are either ManU fans, Madrid, Ronaldo fans or all of them. But Madrid is also out, so they must be Ronaldo fans.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

Those plastic fans can go fuckkkk themselves

Most of the people blasting him are those jobless youths in Africa, especially Nigeria. them no dey carry last with their show of stupidity.

This is what happens when the hopes of a team is placed on ome person. Their loss was not as woeful as Madrid's though

Eiya

bet naija and Co go don hammer yesterday.... imagine say Barcelona and Madrid loose the same day.

True Barca fans worldwide are proud of Lionel Messi

Lol.. Make I no talk anything before the ignoramus people come start to talk nonsense again.. Meanwhile, one Player who celebrated his 35th birthday 2 days ago is doing wonders at his club scoring goals in every match played since 2020 began. At a point, total goals only him scored passed the total goals the entire Barcelona scored ... But one Oga at his own club doesn't want players to get criticised for performing poorly because he feels he's bigger than his club... We kukuma know who the real Goat is..

Meanwhile, Eni4real coman rescue ya GOAT again ooo...

Too much is expected from him

Messi is a sadist and very arrogant, he has managed to hide his traits of arrogancy for a while, but recently it's creeping out to the public glare.

Last 3 seasons in UCL, Barcelona fans always blame Valverde Everytime Mr Retirement fails them...

Since Valverde is gone now, they have switched over to Innocent Abidal but we all know that Mr Retirement contribute 80% of the problems

Let's I forget, was any corner taken quickly in their math yesterday night against athletic Bilbao? 

lol

Ok

"At age 30 Ronaldo said he won't dribble but that doesn't mean he can't dribble" This is what a clown � will say.
