#CopadelRey: Final scores tonight: Villarreal 0 - Real Sociedad 1; Getafe 0 - Barcelona 2. All results: link

Xavi Hernández on for Cesc. That's Xavi's 700th game in a Barça shirt!

Wow!!! Messi again! He's done it again vs Getafe, although only beat 5 men & keeper this time.... 0-2.

...false alarm, lights back on! Seems Neymar injury was a sprained ankle, but more tests tomorrow when back in Barcelona...

Half time, & the lights just went out!!! Looks like a major power cut! Can they get them back on for the 2nd half? Welcome to Spain folks...

Messi!!! Fàbregas to Tello, cross... and you know the rest!!! 0-1.

...seems Neymar injury is to ankle, not knee, but he has just been replaced by Alexis. Have to wait and see what doctors say...

Neymar just knackered himself trying to cross - looks bad? Twisted his knee?

Change in the Getafe line-up, B team defender Vigaray started at right back for Arroyo...

Getafe: Codina; Arroyo, Alexis, Lisandro, Lago; Lacen, Juan Rodríguez; Lafita, Sarabia, Castro; Marica. Already 0-4 down from 1st leg...

Barça XI at Getafe: Pinto; Dani Alves, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano; Sergi Roberto, Song, Fàbregas; Messi, Neymar, Tello. Messi & Neymar start!

All over, Real Sociedad win 0-1 at Villarreal to qualify for quarter final v Racing Santander! If they win through that, then semi v Barça?

Perbet just missed a penalty! Still 0-1, with away goal meaning Villarreal still need two! Complete contrast from Monday night...

In to the 2nd half, Villarreal 0 - Real Sociedad 1! Javi Ros put Basque side in front min 32 after Juan Carlos could only block Prieto shot.
