Barcelona came from behind to beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 as Ronald Koeman's side progressed to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Match Reports
Barca went behind in the 63rd minute when on-loan Real Madrid left back Fran Garcia met Alvaro Garcia's cross to slot the ball beyond Neto at the back post.
However, they were trailing their opponents for just five minutes before Lionel Messi pulled them level, ghosting in at the back post to meet Antoine Greizmann's cross to force the ball home. Frenkie de Jong then scored what proved to be the winner as the midfielder met Jordi Alba's cross to finish from close-range.
