Ousmane Dembele strikes against Real Sociedad sent Barcelona into the semi-final of the Copa del Rey.

Sociedad started the game brightly, showing attacking intent from the first whistle.

After 11 minutes Barcelona had the ball in the back of the net but it was ruled out for offside.

Robert Lewandowski's effort took a touch off Frenkie de Jong who was standing beyond the last line of defence.

After 20 minutes the hosts had another huge chance, this time Ousmane Dembele was able to find space before playing a superb ball into Frenkie de Jong who slid in to meet it but could only divert his effort wide of the goal.

Real Sociedad came within inches of taking the lead after half an hour when Pablo Marin slipped in Takefusa Kubo who struck a vicious effort towards goal which crashed off the crossbar.

Barcelona came out for the second half with the same attacking vigour they showed in the first half and after seven minutes they found the breakthrough.

Ousmane Dembele burst through on the right-hand side before smashing an effort near post past Alex Remiro to put his side ahead.

Barca went close to making it 2-0 after 68 minutes, Ousmane Dembele did superbly to cut a pass back across to Gavi who saw his first-time effort strike the crossbar.
