It was not an easy game for Barcelona, as Los Blaugranas had to battle until the end of the game against a combative Athletic Bilbao side. With Messi and Suárez out, Neymar stepped up to lead the current Copa del Rey champions to a tight 2-1 lead, with the second leg of the series being played next week.
Things for Barcelona seemed to be on the same track as last weekend, when Los Culés defeated Athletic 6-0 at Camp Nou. Munir scored the first goal for Luis Enrique's team, while Neymar added another one, making football look easy and taking advantage of some sloppy defending.

Neymar's skills proved to be key for Barcelona, as Aritz Aduriz scored Athletic's goal that keeps their hopes alive for the series' second leg. The Brazilian ace added one more goal to his impressive stats this season, nettiing his 20th goal of the year in 25 games.

His stats in Copa del Rey matches are also impressive, scoring ten goals in eleven outings. Furthermore, the Brazilian is one goal short from scoring his 75th goal for Los Blaugranas in 117 games.
