Barcelona took Real Betis apart in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey by a 5-1 scoreline and the win could not be more comfortable than it turned out. Tomorrow night, they take on Valencia in the quarterfinal of the tournament but they will not have the home advantage this time around.

One eye will be on Champions League play midweek, but for Barcelona, winning a home match against Valencia on Sunday is critical in the race to gain ground in La Liga. Trailing Real Madrid by seven points for the La Liga title has been the one poor mark on Hansi Flick's first season in charge of Barcelona.
