"Barcelona made it through to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey after securing a hard-fought 2-0 win over Racing Santander away at Estadio El Sardinero. Having had a slow start to the game, the Catalans only managed to break the deadlock in the second half when Ferran Torres found the back of the net. The final minutes of Barcelona's game against Racing Santander turned into a nail-biting affair as the opposition came very close to equalising the Catalans' one-goal lead."
"A mistake from Pau Cubarsi gifted the hosts a 1v1 chance to level the scoring, but Joan Garcia stood firm with yet another stunning save to keep the team's lead intact. Within seconds, Barcelona hit out on the counte,r and Lamine Yamal scored the team's second goal to settle the score. The game, needless to say, could well have gone to extra time had some details gone differently, but Barcelona will not read too much into the result, considering they got the job done."
