At the end of these 16th finals, the two teams present in the top 6 of La Liga avoided the Cup trap.
Both against clubs from the Spanish third division, FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad managed to escape the Copa del Rey trap. They thus take the direction of the 8th finals.
Facing Barbastro, the Barcelona players had a quiet match thanks to the opening score of young Fermin Lopez (20 years old) at the very start of the match (0-1, 18th). Even more so when Raphinha doubled the lead after returning from the locker room (0-2, 51st). But even after the score was reduced (1-2, 60th), Robert Lewandowski gave Barca a significant advantage from the penalty spot (1-3, 88th). Even if the locals came back in the last moments from the penalty spot as well (2-3, 90+3rd), it was the Blaugranas who won to advance to the round of 16.
Real Sociedad took longer to take the lead. It was finally on an own goal from the locals (0-1, 49th) that the Basques took the advantage without ever letting themselves be caught up by Malaga. This way, they also had their opponent to move on to the next round.
