Barcelona’s Munir El Haddadi completes Copa demolition job on Espanyol
• Espanyol 0-2 Barcelona
• El Haddadi, in for suspended Luis Suárez, scores twice
• El Haddadi, in for suspended Luis Suárez, scores twice
Munir El Haddadi scored both goals as a Barcelona side missing several regulars beat their city rivals Espanyol 2-0 for a thumping 6-1 aggregate success in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey.
...Lionel Messi, fresh from collecting a fifth Fifa Ballon d’Or award on Monday, sent El Haddadi clear to round Francesco Bardi and open the scoring with a deft finish at Espanyol’s Cornellà-El Prat .
..The academy graduate, who has had limited playing time since his promotion from the B team, made it 2-0 two minutes from time with a tap-in from Aleix Vidal’s centre.
El Haddadi was deployed up front in place of Luis Suárez, suspended for his part in a fracas after last week’s bad-tempered first leg, with the likes of Neymar, Andrés Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Gerard Piqué rested.
Felipe Caicedo caused some problems for the Spanish and European champions’ defence but Marc-André ter Stegen was equal to anything the Ecuador striker could throw at him.
