Koeman's side made the last four in dramatic circumstances, beating Granada 5-3

Barcelona now know who could be their opponents in the semifinal of the Copa del Rey. After the thrilling win against Granada, 3-5 after extra-time, Ronald Koeman's side will be in Friday's draw, which takes place at 1pm CET at the RFEF HQ.

Sevilla, Levante and Athletic Club are the other three sides in the draw after they all won their respective ties this week, too.

The first to book their place in the final four were Sevilla, who beat second division Almeria thanks to a goal from Lucas Ocampos.

Levante came through in dramatic circumstances, with a 120th minute goal from Roger Marti helping them beat Villarreal after extra-time.

Finally, Athletic, who still have last year's final to play against Real Sociedad, beat Real Betis on penalties on Thursday. Juanmi had given Betos an 85th-minute lead but Raul Garcia struck in stoppage time.

Friday's draw is open so anyone can draw anyone and the ties will be played over two legs. The first leg will be played next week (Feb. 9, 10 or 11) and the second leg at the start of March (2, 3 or 4).

Barça are trying to book their place in their first final since 2019, when they lost 2-1 to Valencia. They have won it 30 times, more than anyone else, the last time in 2018, when they beat Sevilla 5-0.
