A dramatic injury time goal by Xavi gave Barcelona a 1-1 draw at home to Valencia in their Spanish Cup semi-final first leg clash on Wednesday.
Valencia had taken the lead through Spanish international striker David Villa 20 minutes from time.
Barcelona too be fair had the majority of the chances - their opponents underfire coach Ronald Koeman electing to play only Villa up front - but found Valencia’s German goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand in commanding form.
He was forced into his first save in the sixth minute from Xavi in the same move that had seen efforts by Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi blocked by Valencia defenders.
Thursday’s second semi-final pitches Getafe at home to Racing Santander.
The second legs are on March 19 and 20.
