Barcelona enjoy comfortable Copa win

Barcelona enjoyed a comfortable Copa del Rey win over Osasuna.

Barca moved a step closer to a possible quarter-final showdown with Real Madrid after winning the first leg of their last-16 tie against Osasuna 4-0 at the Nou Camp.

Barca beat Osasuna 8-0 at home in the Primera Division back in September and the Pamplona-based side must have feared another mauling when Cesc Fabregas netted twice in the opening 18 minutes - the second a superb chip.

As it was, a strong Barca added two more goals from Lionel Messi, who climbed off the bench to net in the 72nd and 90th minutes.
