Ousmane Dembele Brace Leads Barcelona Past Levante in Copa del Rey

Barcelona booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday following a 3-0 win in the second leg of their tie against levante. Ousmane Dembele scored twice, and that was more than enough to overturn a first-leg loss, with the aggregate score 4-2.

The visitors employed a cautious approach but ran into a first-half double from Dembele, although Barcelona could have scored a lot more. Lionel Messi all but secured passage to the next round after the break with a goal of his own.

Levante had won the first leg 2-1, but there was controversy surrounding the result of that match.
