Athletic Bilbao vs. Barcelona: Goals, Highlights from the Copa Del Rey 1st Leg
Barcelona travelled to Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday night for the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarter-final at the San Mames Stadium.
The two sides met as recently as Sunday, with the defending champions sending out a warning signal with a 6-0 thrashing, thanks in part to a Luis Suarez hat-trick:

The visitors were without Lionel Messi and Suarez, meaning Brazilian Neymar would lead the line without the other two-thirds of Luis Enrique's legendary front three.
It seemed to matter little when, after 18 minutes, Munir El Haddadi put them in front after Ivan Rakitic's superb assist.

Only seven minutes later, Neymar capitalised on three defensive errors to double the advantage, a scoreline which would remain until half-time.
