Barcelona draw Valencia in Copa del Rey semi-finals

Barcelona have been handed a two-legged tie with Valencia in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

On Thursday night, Barca overturned a first-leg deficit to get the better of Espanyol in the last eight to remain on course to defend the trophy that they won last season.

The reward for the Catalan giants is a showdown with Valencia, who have spent the opening five months of the campaign in the top four of the La Liga standings with Ernesto Valverde's side.

The other semi-final tie sees Leganes face Sevilla, with the first leg being staged at the home of the outsiders for the tournament.

Leganes progressed through to this stage of the competition with an away-goals success over Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.
