In preparation for Wednesday’s Copa del Rey quarterfinal match against Real Sociedad, head coach Xavi Hernandez made many adjustments to his starting lineup, resting important players including Robert Lewandowski, Ronald Araujo, and Frenkie de Jong. In the 34th minute, Pedri scored the game’s first goal by latching onto Raphinha’s pass and tapping it into an open goal.

Barcelona dominated the game in every way, holding the ball for about 70% of the time. However, with only four shots on target during the entire game, Barcelona did not have many obvious opportunities to widen their lead. Ansu Fati missed a few chances in the first half before Pedri scored, but Barcelona came out of the break at a slower tempo and were satisfied with their lead as Getafe failed to pose a real danger.

Athletic vs Real Madrid Highlights: Real Madrid went to Athletic Club and scored a 2-0 victory, earning them a crucial three points in the La Liga title chase. The winning strikes came from Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos, but the victory was a collective effort. Even though Madrid is still playing below their typical level and Athletic offered strong competition, the visitors finally prevailed thanks to two sparkling goals that the home team was unable to match.

The first goal came from Benzema, who scored with his back to goal but with a superb finish just before the half-hour mark. Athletic Club was compelled to pursue the game, which they accomplished by applying pressure in the game’s closing 20 minutes. They worked so hard, it appeared miraculous at one point that they couldn’t get a well-deserved equaliser.
