Barcelona draw Athletic Bilbao in Copa del Rey last 16

Barcelona will take on Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey after the draw was made on Friday.

Xavi’s men secured safe passage to the last 16 with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Linares Deportivo on Wednesday after coming from a goal behind.

Second-half strikes from Ousmane Dembele and Ferran Jutglà secured a comeback win and a game against the Basque giants. This is a rematch of last year’s Final, with Barça beating Athletic 4-0 in brilliant fashion to win their only trophy of last season.
