BARCELONA HAVE ONE foot in the Copa Del Rey final after a 2-0 first leg win over Real Sociedad last night.
As well as a comedy own goal from Sociedad goalkeeper Eñaut Zubikarai, the game also produced a moment of madness when Jon Gaztañaga resorted to ‘rugby tackling’ Lionel Messi after he had skipped past two players.
You won’t be shocked to learn he picked up a yellow card for his troubles.
