Copa del Rey semifinal draw: Barcelona to face Lopetegui's Sevilla

The other semifinal will see Athletic Club meet Levante over two legs

Barcelona will play Sevilla in the Copa del Rey semifinal, with the first leg to be played next week. 

The first leg will be played in Seville -- likely on Wednesday as Barça play Sunday-Saturday in La Liga -- and the second leg will be at Camp Nou at the start of March. 

Incidentally, the second leg will be played just a few days after Barça play away against Sevilla in the league. 

Barca reached the last four with a 5-3 extra-time win away at Granada, while Sevilla won 1-0 at Almeria. 

The other semifinal will be competed between Athletic Club and Levante, with Athletic at home first. 

Curiously, Athletic could play two Copa del Rey finals in April if they beat Levante. 

Last season's postponed final between Athletic and Real Sociedad will be played at the start of the month, with this season's showpiece a few weeks later.
