"Barcelona are into the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey but were made to work hard for a 2-0 victory in Santander on Thursday night. Hansi Flick's side scored twice in the second half to continue the defence of their trophy but also suffered a few scares along the way. Let's look at some of the talking points from the game."
"Indeed it took the arrival of Lopez to finally unlock Racing. The substitute sent Torres running through on goal with a great ball that simply needed putting away. Torres did precisely that to finally break the deadlock and put Barca on track for victory. It was the shark's goal but make no mistake it was all about Fermin. Lopez now has nine assists in all competitions so far this season, the same amount as a certain Lamine Yamal."
Barcelona reached the Copa del Rey quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at Racing Santander after scoring twice in the second half. The team struggled to create clear-cut chances for the first 60 minutes and lacked creativity despite a strong starting XI. Fermin Lopez came on as a substitute and provided a decisive through ball to set up Torres, who scored to break the deadlock. Lopez now has nine assists in all competitions this season. Marc Bernal started the match, put in a solid performance, and was substituted shortly after the hour mark; his future and potential January loan remain under consideration.
