Barcelona have won their 11th consecutive match in all competitions and secured a spot in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals thanks to a hard-fought 2-0 win away to La Liga 2 leaders Racing Santander on Thursday night in a wild Round of 16 tie. Racing proved why they should be a top-flight team next season and gave Barça all they could handle, but goals from Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal, combined with critical contributions from Fermín López and Joan Garcia, sealed the victory for Hansi Flick’s troops and sent the defending Cup winners into the Last Eight.
