On Wednesday, Barcelona managed to advance into the semi-final of Copa del Rey without any problems. A victory over Real Sociedad (1:0) extended Barca's unbeaten run and proved team's ability to remain successful even without Robert Lewandowski. 

The Blaugranas are known for their offensive game, but they are also successful on defense in the current season - Catalan side conceded only six goals so far in the season. Xavi's men secured five of 14 recent La Liga victories by a 1:0 score. Visitors have 14 victories and two draws, delivering 44 points and a top position in the standings.
