Copa del Rey: Barcelona needed extra time to beat Granada in the Copa del Rey last eight tie

Barcelona survived another huge scare in this season’s Copa del Rey with a dramatic 5-3 extra-time victory at Granada to reach the semi-finals of the cup competition.

Granada had been 2-0 up for almost the entire duration of the match thanks to goals in each half from Kenedy and former Tottenham striker Roberto Soldado, but with two minutes of normal time remaining Antoine Griezmann inspired Barca’s thrilling late fightback.

The Frenchman reduced the deficit by the 88th minute before then linking Jordi Alba to grab an equaliser on stoppage time as the 30-time winners forced extra-time.

Griezmann scored yet again in the 100th minute to give Barca the lead in the tie for the first time but Granada fought back to level swiftly through Fede Vico.

However, as penalties drew nigh, Frenkie de Jong scored and put Barca back on top before Alba added a stunning second – volleying in another Griezmann assist – to send Ronald Koeman’s side into the last four.
