Five talking points from Barcelona’s Copa del Rey win over Athletic

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman picked up his first trophy since taking over as manager at the Camp Nou and saw his team eventually win in some style, putting four fine goals past Athletic.

It’s been a rollercoaster Copa del Rey campaign by Barcelona that has produced plenty of excitement and drama but there’s no doubt Barca were by far the better team on Saturday night.

Koeman was quizzed about his future before the game at his pre-match press conference and wasn’t too happy about the questions, but this win should offer more job security with Barca ensuring they will not finish the campaign empty-handed for a second straight season.
