Barcelona 5-0 Leganes, Copa del Rey: Lionel Messi at the double for Quique Setien’s men

Barcelona booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday with a comfortable 5-0 victory over Leganes at the Camp Nou.

First-half goals from Antoine Griezmann and Clement Lenglet sent the hosts on their way to victory, while Lionel Messi scored twice and Arthur was also on target after the break.

FIRST HALF

Barcelona got off to the perfect start when Griezmann netted the opener with less than four minutes on the clock. Lionel Messi sent Nelson Semedo running into acres of space down the right, and he cut the ball back to the Frenchman to take a touch and fire past Cuellar.
