Ivan Rakitic booked Barcelona's place in the Copa del Rey final with a nice finish against Valencia at the Mestalla.

After Philippe Coutinho had opened the scoring early in the second half, Barcelona were well in control of the tie, but it was Rakitic who made the result certain.

The assist came from Luis Suarez again, after he broke with the ball and played Rakitic in.

The Croat had Lionel Messi alongside him but he fired a low effort, right footed, into the bottom corner to end any hopes Valencia had of a comeback.
