Barcelona: Luis Enrique felt Barcelona made it difficult for themselves despite ultimately easing past Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

Barca reached the last four as they completed a 6-2 aggregate success with a 5-2 win in the second leg at the Nou Camp.

Denis Suarez opened the scoring in the first half with Lionel Messi adding a penalty.

Juanmi pulled one back but hopes of a comeback were swiftly dashed by Luis Suarez. Willian Jose scored another for Sociedad but an Arda Turan effort and Denis Suarez's second of the night ended the contest.

Coach Enrique told reporters: "We made life difficult for the whole game but I think we played a good tie. It was a tricky tie but we were effective in front of goal and I am really happy to be in the semi-finals."

Enrique added on Mundo Deportivo: "We faced one of the best teams but, once you get past them, spaces can appear and we have the players to take advantage."
