Doubt surprise, doubt no.
The talented Athletic Bilbao beat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey and qualified for the quarter-finals at their expense thanks to a dramatic 2: 3 in extra time.
Real Madrid will also be there with its own 1: 2 against Elche.
The crazy game at San Mames inflated with a very fast goal from Iker Muniain who scored after just two minutes and put Bilbao ahead.
Barça did not say desperate and Fran Torres equalized for them in the twentieth minute on the way to 1: 1.
Both teams continued to search for the long-awaited goal and just before overtime, the Basques also found it.
Inigo Martinez made it 2-1 for Bilbao in the 86th minute, but deep in extra time and just before the whistle, Federy equalized for an incredible 2-2.
Going for an extension.

Barcelona went up to the last 30 minutes with a great sense of euphoria, which as mentioned shattered in the 106th minute.
Jordi Alba touched his hand in the box, the referee pointed to the penalty spot and Iker Muniain was there to complete a double and secure a dramatic and sweet victory for the Basque team.
Even before the crazy confrontation at San Mames, the Blancos' game was held last night (Thursday).
After a disappointing 0-0 in 90 minutes, both teams went into overtime and there everything started to get a lot more interesting.
In the 102nd minute Marcelo received a red card and left Real with ten players.
Elche took advantage of the numerical advantage and Gonzalo scored a minute later.
But the last word was of the guest.
Isco (108) and Eden Hazard (115) arranged a quick turnaround for Carlo Ancelotti, setting up a dramatic 1-2 draw.
