Barcelona 3-0 Levante (4-2 total)
Copa del Rey 2018-19
Location: Camp Nou
Ousmane Dembele scored two goals in the first half and allowed Barcelona to win 3-0 against Levante, who then pushed him into the quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey.
Barca surprisingly surprised 2-1 since last week's first leg, but he went back to Camp Nou with a cumulative 4-2 win thanks to Dembele's double and Lionel Messi's effort.
This is the 11th and 12th goals of the French season, while Messi scored 49 times in this competition – the second highest total of all Barca players.
Despite their deficit in the first leg, which took place after the formation of a weakened team, there was little doubt that the Barca would progress after Messi's appointment in the starting lineup.
