Barcelona & Girona Knocked Out of Copa Del Rey!

Athletic Club 4-2 Barcelona

Spanish giants were knocked out of the Copa Del Rey courtesy of their loss against Athletic Club in Extra Time. While the game ended 2-2 at full-time, Inaki Williams scored for the home side in both halves of extra time to take them into the semi-finals.

Lamine Yamal missed an open goal in the 90th minute and fired the ball over the bar. The pressure would now be firmly on Xavi to turn the season around as Barcelona can likely go trophyless.

Mallorca 3-2 Girona

The LaLiga leaders too faced a fate similar to Barcelona, having been knocked out of the Copa Del Rey in the quarterfinals to Mallorca. The home side scored three early goals to go 3-0 up in 35 minutes.

A red card to Mallorca's Antonio Raillo opened up the game in the second half but Girona could only manage to score two goals as their comeback hopes were laid to rest.

Athletic Club, Mallorca, and Real Sociedad have qualified for the semi-finals of the 2023/24 Copa Del Rey. The last spot would be determined between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla on 25th January.
